Camp Cooper

Camp Cooper is designed to spark the imagination and engage the intellect while offering an equally important dose of fun and physical activity. The hallmarks of Camp Cooper include hands-on and collaborative educational activities, a wide variety of games and play, and small camp groups led by fun and caring counselors.

As of 4/28/25 Camp Cooper is fully enrolled with lengthy waitlists for all weeks.
Although you are welcome to join the waiting list to add your name to receive future communications, it’s highly recommended that you find alternatives for your summer plans. While we appreciate your interest and hope to accommodate all families in the future, we want to be fair and transparent so families can get all needs met.
