Yes, we are a summer camp, but we are also a Youth Development organization. Everything we do is rooted in our Youth Development Philosophy, which shapes our programming, our staff training, and the way we support every camper who joins us. This philosophy is the foundation of our mission and the reason campers return year after year.

What Makes Camp Twin Creeks Different?

Sleepaway camp is more than activities and campfires. It’s a chance for children to grow in confidence, independence, and resilience. Campers learn to be comfortable with the unfamiliar, all while surrounded by supportive staff and a caring community. At Camp Twin Creeks, we built our youth development model on four core pillars that shape every aspect of daily life at camp:

Our Four Pillars of Youth Development

1. Exploration Leads to Growth

2. Community Is the Antidote to Loneliness

3. “Soft” Skills Are the Best Skills

4. Our Environment Is Our Best Educator

How Our Philosophy Shapes the Camper Experience

These principles influence everything at Camp Twin Creeks from daily schedules and cabin life to staff training and activity design. We intentionally plan every moment to support your child’s social, emotional, and personal development. Our team ensures that every camper feels safe, valued, and empowered to grow.

With our beautiful mountain setting, experienced Leadership Team, and mission-driven programming, we create meaningful and memorable summer experiences for every child. Campers leave with new skills, lifelong friendships, and a stronger understanding of themselves, and they can’t wait to come back.
