Mission Statement

Camp Gallagher, a place for discovery and adventure, provides opportunities for personal growth in a safe environment through challenge and exploration on land and water, giving campers improved self-confidence, life-long friendships, and an appreciation of their environment.

Description

Building on the 53-year camping tradition established by the previous operators, Friends of Camp Gallagher has run its new summer camp experiences for middle and high school youth, young adults, families, and adults since June 2016, growing from 488 summer participants in the first summer to an anticipated 700 summer participants in 2023. Camp Gallagher also partners with local nonprofits, schools, churches, clubs, and community groups to provide access to the beautiful, outdoor facilities during non-camp time, typically serving an additional 400-600 individuals each year. These groups come for retreats, nature-based field trips, teambuilding opportunities, service projects, and community celebrations. Expanded use and access during non-summer months is the current priority of the organization, along with special attention to environmental stewardship and restoration of the 155-acre waterfront and forest property.

Camp Gallagher runs seven different types of camp programs:

  1. Classic Camp (7 th-8 th grade & 9 th-12 th grade sessions)
  2. Gallagher Expeditions (9 th-12 th grade sessions)
  3. Young Alumni Expeditions
  4. Leadership Development Program
  5. Family Camp
  6. Grownup Camp & Expeditions
