  • At Alford Lake, the campers experience challenge and adventure through a largely elective program. The philosophy of program is that the campers should be relaxed and able to enjoy any activity without self-consciousness or fear, and that they should feel warmly accepted and be steadily encouraged. The goal is to nurture international friendships and to foster attitudes of greater global understanding.
  • The simple outdoor setting provides campers the opportunity to enjoy their natural surroundings and to gain awareness of the importance of environmental responsibility. The community also practices and promotes responsibility in health and nutrition.
