Camp Claire has traditionally only accepted overnight campers up to 13 years old. Over the last few years we have seen a growing interest in 14 year olds that wish to attend Camp Claire as overnight campers. For the 2020 camping season, we will be offering a limited number of overnight spots for campers who are 14 years old for sessions 1 – 4.
Countdown to Summer 2020
