Camp Horseshoe is everything a boy could ever want out of summer AND so much more! Our dynamic program offers premier athletics, awesome outdoor adventure, exceptional water sports and extraordinary tripping programs. Add that to our never-ending line-up of innovative activities, creative evening programs, and unique special events, and you’ve got a summer camp experience beyond imagination! And it’s all run at an unsurpassed level of excellence by Owners/Directors Jordan and Fran Shiner and the incomparable Horseshoe staff. But these incredible activities are only the beginning. Our campers call the Horseshoe experience “amazing,” “indescribable,” and “the best place on earth.” We call it “The Heart of Horseshoe,” our philosophy of creating maximum fun and endless variety while promoting positive values and growth through meaningful accomplishment.
Campers may come to Horseshoe for our spirited sports leagues or towering climbing wall, but what they leave with are experiences and memories that eclipse any peak or play. Scaling “Mt Shoe” they gain self-confidence. Striving toward the Na Ta Ne and Golden Horseshoe Honor Tribes they build perseverance. Bonding with teammates throughout Blue/Green and Shoe Madness they develop lifelong friendships. At “The Shoe” every day is a new adventure, a fresh opportunity to seize challenges, have endless fun, and bring out the best in each boy.
At Camp Horseshoe, each Horseshoe boy is cheered, included, and accepted. We honor each camper’s individuality, while building a vibrant spirit of community. Horseshoe campers come from many different states, allowing lasting friendships to be forged among boys from across the country. With camper to counselor ratios of 4:1, small cabins, family style meals enjoyed at round tables, and big brother/little brother mentoring programs, we join together as a family. Here boys can be themselves—alive with laughter, infused with energy—running, laughing, living, and learning, all in the best place for boys to get the very most out of summer!
