Welcome to the Camp Wildwood Web Page! We hope to be able to give you a brief tour of the camp and the info you need to decide if this is where your son might want to spend part of his next summer vacation. Let's start the tour...

Camp Wildwood has flourished for over five decades because of three elements: its people, its program, and its philosophy. Camp directors Mark and Peter Meyer have owned and operated Camp Wildwood since 1980. They believe in a hands-on approach, meeting every day with their carefully selected administration and staff to discuss program improvements, daily activities, intercamp games, and remedies for any of yesterday's problems. The Meyer brothers believe that the best way to teach children is to work and learn along with them. That is why they know each boy by name.

Every night, as they say goodnight to each camper, they learn more about the individual. After all, it is at night, when the day's activities have ended that kids have time to talk about their problems, their concerns, and their successes.

This personal interest that Mark and Peter show in the boys' growth and maturity brings generation after generation back to Wildwood. In fact Mark first came to Wildwood as a wild and crazy 10 year old and later returned as a staff member. He went on to become part of the administration, and finally assumed owner/directorship in 1980.

Happiness. Safety. Appreciation. These are the constant goals shaping the philosophy of Wildwood. It is a summer home where competitive and non-competitive boys come together and flourish. The campers take part in an extraordinary choice of activities that develops both their physical and intellectual skills.

Through the development of these skills and the constant care of the Wildwood staff, the campers grow to feel safe, confident, and to be appreciated. And in that security, they become members of an extended family that continues to grow generation after generation. It's a simple philosophy. It's Wildwood.

Though Wildwood would seem to be a perfect fit for every boy, and every boy imagines himself a perfect fit at Wildwood, this is not always the case. This is why we try to meet with each prospective camper and his family. Not only do we want the Wildwood Family to grow from his presence here, but we want to make sure that Wildwood will be a beneficial environment for the growth and maturity of any child. If you are looking for a camp where the counselors have been trained to be sensitive to the needs of each camper, where the directors care enough about the children to say goodnight to them each and every night, and contact them throughout the winter, and where summer camp is more like a summer home with an extended family, then Camp Wildwood is the camp for you.
