As parents, we strive to equip our children with the skills and experiences they need to thrive in the world beyond the confines of home and school. One invaluable opportunity that parents can provide for their teenagers is participation in programs like Camp Reece's Counselor-In-Training (CIT) Program. This six-week co-ed residential experience is carefully crafted to not only prepare teens for leadership roles at camp but also to instill in them the independence, responsibility, and real-world readiness necessary for success in adulthood.

In an age defined by digital connectivity, the importance of disconnecting from technology has never been more pronounced, especially for the younger generations. Camp Reece recognizes the profound impact of unplugging and embraces it as an integral part of the camp experience. As campers step away from screens and immerse themselves in the natural beauty of our surroundings, they embark on a journey of self-discovery, personal growth, and genuine connection.

We reached out to a diverse group of Camp Reece counselors, each with their own unique journey and perspective, to answer a series of questions for you! From reflecting on the impact working at Camp Reece had on their lives to what they’re looking forward to in the upcoming summer, our counselors provide an intimate look at the magic of this special place.

We are thrilled to announce that Camp Reece has recently earned the prestigious ACA accreditation, representing a significant milestone in our ongoing journey to provide a transformative and inclusive camping experience for children with special needs.

Nature-based activities hold immense value for children and teens with special needs, nurturing their physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development. At Camp Reece, we go the extra mile to create a nurturing and inclusive environment where campers can explore the wonders of nature.

Our counselors are passionate about and dedicated to making your campers summer the best ever. Here are some ways that our counselors support campers before and after they arrive at Camp Reece.
