THE WILDWOOD WAY

Since 1953, our formula to create an incredible overnight experience for boys in a tight-knit community has revolved around these three aspects of The Wildwood Way.

  1. Individual Campers

Every boy at Camp Wildwood is unique and that should be celebrated. We have created an environment that allows boys to choose their own path while being encouraged to appreciate new experiences and different perspectives.  

2. Camp CONNECTIONS

Our individualized program is the perfect place for aspiring athletes, entrepreneurs, comedians, doctors, actors, politicians and more. Boys come together from all over the world to take risks and trust each other using our Bunk, Group, Camp model. Wildwood Campers have something in common, they found their place in the tightly woven community we have created at Camp Wildwood. The Wildwood Way stays with campers far beyond their Senior year at camp. They are a part of Wildwood Forever.

3. ACTIVE DIRECTORSHIP

Since being founded by Leo Mayer in 1953, Camp Wildwood has been owned and operated by former campers including Louis, Teddy and Obie. We know every boy at Camp Wildwood and we spend each day with them at meals and activities. Each night, one of the directors visits the bunks to check in on the boys. Our hands-on approach makes us accessible to every member of our community. The relationships built through Wildwood continue to develop and mature beyond the summers spent at camp.
