Camps Baco and Che-Na-Wah

Camp Baco for Boys and Camp Che-Na-Wah for Girls is camp at its purest.
(254)

We're two separate camps built on a single tradition: the secret to great camp is its people.

Find yourself a team that stays forever. 💙💛

Anyone recognize these faces? 👇

Our senior staff don’t just work together—they’re camp family. Some started as campers, became counselors, and never left. Others found us as adults and knew they’d found home. That’s what 75 summers at Baco and 103 summers at Che-Na-Wah does: tradition turns friendships into lifelong bonds.

As the new year begins, reflection comes naturally. For us, that moment happens each summer at Banquet — when we look back on the season we shared, each bunk makes their toast to the memories made, and gather together for a celebratory meal. 💛💙

Today and every day, thankful for the place that brings us back year after year — our North Star, our summer home in the hills. And most of all, we are thankful for the dear friends it’s given us along the way. 💙💛

We're celebrating the timeless joy of arts and crafts that have been bringing people together, (with the best view on earth) for 75 years. From vibrant tie-dye shirts that scream summer vibes to the delightful squish of ceramics clay in your hands, it’s clear that creativity is ageless! 🎨✨

Did you know that when the Kauser family owned the property that is now Camp Baco, the Arts & Crafts building was their art studio?

(And happy belated birthday to the one and only Shlomit Flexer, who will be in camp for her 19th summer as Head of Arts & Crafts in 2026). 🎂
