Lake Valley Camp
Lake Valley Camp, in Boscobel, WI, is a purpose-built facility located in the hills and valleys of southwestern Wisconsin on a privately owned, 650-acre property. Every summer we build our camp community with the purpose of providing a safe and transformative outdoor experience for our staff and participants that promotes independence, love of nature, creativity, and teamwork.
Camp Life
Resident Camp is an 11 day/10 night experience for 3rd-11th grade campers. Campers experience a variety of extraordinary experiences during their time at camp, including swimming, canoeing, horseback riding, team sports, teambuilding, archery, gardening, cooking, outdoor exploration, campouts, creative arts, performing arts, and practical life skills. Campers will also participate in key aspects of camp life, including campfires, singing, daily reflection, strengthening friendships, and community building.
Campers and staff live together in cabins that are separated into villages according to age and gender. Each cabin is assigned staff to live with, support, and create community with the campers. Each village has a bath house with flushing toilets and showers.
Lake Valley Camp Tours
During the camp season, we are delighted to offer camp tours for alumni and partners to share in the feeling that “love is nigh” at Lake Valley Camp. In order to ensure that tours do not disrupt the daily life of campers and camp staff, here are a few things to keep in mind if you’d like to visit Lake Valley Camp:
How to Schedule a Tour: We ask that you call to schedule your tour with our Office Coordinator at least one week in advance of when you are hoping to come. Please call (608) 872-2392 x221. If you come to camp for a tour without scheduling first, we will do our best to accommodate a tour if a staff person is available. If no one is available, we will ask you to reschedule for an available date and time.
When are tours offered: Tours can typically be arranged Monday through Friday between the hours of 9:30am-3:30pm, while camp programming is in session. We typically do not give tours during Staff Orientation or other special days for staff, so that our team can fully focus on those activities.
Checking in at LVC: Please park in the circle in front of the Dining Hall and come to the first office to check in and get a Visitor Badge. Please be sure to always stay with the staff member leading your tour during your time in camp.
Cell Phones & Pictures: Please keep cell phones out of sight of campers. Campers are not allowed to have phones at LVC, so we try our best not to have ours out in front of them. You are permitted to take pictures of camp scenery but you may not take or share pictures that include campers because they are minors and we have a duty to protect their identities while they are in our care. Please do not take or share pictures of our adult staff without their permission.
Availability: Unfortunately, we are not able to allow guests on the property when camp is not in session in the offseason. We appreciate your cooperation and hope you have a wonderful visit! Love is nigh!
Lake Valley Camp does not offer visits from or tours for parents or guardians of campers who are currently in a session. This allows campers to fully participate in the camp experience and build their confidence and independence while at camp. (Parents and Guardians, please see your Parent & Guardian Handbook for ways to communicate with your child while they are at overnight camp.)
