Announcing Summer 2026 - the 121st Season!

With full hearts and a great deal of excitement, we are thrilled to share the news we have all been hoping for: Camp Susquehannock will reopen for Summer 2026.

Thanks to months of collaboration, planning, and an outpouring of support from the Camp community, we are officially moving forward. We have been working closely with the Shafer Family to enter into a new long-term lease that will ensure Camp Susquehannock remains on Tripp Lake not just for next summer, but for decades to come. Our shared goal is not simply to reopen Camp, but to preserve and strengthen it for the next generation of campers, staff, and families.

Summer 2026 Dates

The schedule for Summer 2026 will remain exactly as originally planned:

  • 2-Week Program: June 25, 2025 (Thursday) – July 9, 2025 (Thursday)
  • 4-Week Program: July 12, 2025 (Sunday) – Aug 9, 2025 (Sunday)
  • Full Season: June 25, 2025 (Thursday) – Aug 9, 2025 (Sunday)
  • Two-Week “Flex” Session: Available upon request

Leadership & Program

We are especially excited to share that the majority of our Senior Staff will be returning, providing continuity, leadership, and the same strong program that defines Susquehannock. Jon Savitch will return as Head of Boys Camp, and Jay Pearcy will return as Head of Girls Camp. Campers can expect the same great traditions, programming, and spirit they know and love — with thoughtful improvements already in the works for this summer and even bigger plans ahead

A Note for Parents

We know families have been waiting patiently, and we are grateful for your trust throughout this process:

  • Families who submitted deposits before the August 1 deadline will have last year’s tuition rates honored
  • First Bell rates have been extended through January 31
  • We will be reaching out to families individually over the next couple of weeks with additional details and next steps

How You Can Help

As we look toward this summer and beyond, we would love your continued involvement. Many of you have already raised your hands to help — and if you have in the past, expect to hear from us soon about ways to pitch in. Camp has always thrived because of its people, and this moment is no exception.

This journey has reinforced what makes Camp Susquehannock so special: a deep, connected community bound by shared experiences and lasting friendships. We are incredibly grateful for the encouragement, outreach, and belief you’ve shown along the way. Summer 121 is just the beginning of the next chapter, and we cannot wait to welcome campers back to Tripp Lake.

Move ’em out!
