Red Arrow Camp has something for everyone. Over the course of the summer, campers have the opportunity to participate in eight activities during each two-week block. Campers can practice their favorite sports, cross-train in our weights and fitness programs, or learn something new — like riflery, archery, sailing, woodworking, or water skiing!

Quality Instruction & Coaching
Many young athletes look for summer camps that will build their skills and prepare them for the upcoming athletic season. At Red Arrow, we’re able to offer instruction that exceeds the quality found at short-term specialty camps. How? Over the course of seven weeks, our instructors truly get to know our campers’ abilities, building on their strengths and improving their weaknesses. Instead of bouncing around from one program and coach to the next, our campers work with consistent, highly qualified instructors over the course of the summer.
Every day, our campers are challenged to grow and improve. By the end of the summer, they’ve made significant strides in skill, strength, and ability.
The Awards System
Our emblem system plays a key role in the Red Arrow Camp experience. Emblems represent a camper’s achievement in a particular area and are displayed on his RAC scarf, which he places on his bunk during the summer.
ACTIVITY EMBLEMS
A Red Arrow camper may choose to participate in an activity just for fun, or he can work toward earning an activity emblem. Our campers take enormous pride in their emblems, which symbolize tremendous hard work and success in setting and reaching a goal.
Stars
After campers earn emblems, they can then earn yellow stars to indicate advancement to a higher level in a particular activity. Campers earn a blue star for their swim emblem when they complete the “Island Swim” and a red star when they swim to the island and back. They also receive a red star for each year they return to Red Arrow.
CHARACTER EMBLEMS
In addition to activity emblems, campers can also earn honor emblems: Inspection, Sunshine, and Best Tripper.
