Founded in 1902, the Culver Summer Schools & Camps program is unique. It is a fun-filled, naturally beautiful 1800 acre setting where over 1300 young people from around the world, ages 9-17, develop positive self-esteem through accomplishment and self discipline. It is a high challenge-high support environment for learning leadership skills that improve personal confidence.
Whether you are interested in earning US Sailing certification through Culver's Naval School, riding in Culver's esteemed Troop or Equestrienne program, learning Aeronautical techniques in the School of Aviation, taking a leadership role in the Girl's School or experiencing the adventure of countless activities and new challenges in the Woodcraft Camp - the summer programs at Culver are like none other and you're invited to learn about each program and what it has to offer your child.
Character development is the focus. The goal of the Summer Schools & Camps is to teach self-discipline, personal responsibility, fairness, appreciation for diversity, respect for self and others - the characteristics upon which honor is built.
The Culver staff is committed to developing the whole person - mind, body and spirit - through personal reflection, individual counseling, small group experiences, unit and team activities, and participation in religious services. The interactive Culver experience, set in a leadership - military framework, provides an opportunity for young people of varied skill and experience levels to develop lifetime interests and lifelong friends.
What better way for your child to spend his or her summer days than along the shores of Lake Maxinkuckee, learning first to be a follower, accepting personal responsibility, and then to be a leader of others - all the while having fun and the summer of a lifetime.
