Camp Mataponi

Steeped in abundant tradition, Camp Mataponi has been a sanctuary for girls seeking a blend of enriching experiences for over a century. This time-honored haven is committed to fostering self-confidence in every camper by offering a smorgasbord of activities, from academics like mathematics to a wide array of sports including tennis, basketball, and even horseback riding. Emphasizing a balanced schedule, Mataponi offers the perfect mix of land and water sports, fine arts, crafts, and outdoor adventures. This ensures that every girl can find an activity that resonates with her interests and sparks her enthusiasm. At the same time, the camp introduces core activities to each camper, presenting an opportunity to explore and perhaps discover a new passion. With the motto, "You don't have to be the best, just try your best," Camp Mataponi nurtures a culture of healthy competition in a supportive, fun-filled environment. This philosophy encourages girls to step out of their comfort zones and try new things, teaching them invaluable life skills and instilling core values along the way. Beyond the activities, the spirit of camaraderie and the lessons learned at Camp Mataponi stay with the girls long after the summer ends. The camp is more than just a place to spend the holidays; it is a family that grows each year, welcoming approximately 320 girls into its warm embrace. So, if you're seeking a summer experience that will enrich your child's life beyond the usual holiday fun, Camp Mataponi is a destination to consider. Just remember, it's not about being the best; it's about giving your best and, in the process, discovering the best within you.
