Culver Summer Schools and Camps are a culturally diverse community. 30% of our camper/student population hail from outside of the United States. We partner with IENA for J-1 visas for qualifying International Staff members. Please note, our International Staff are subject to the terms laid out in their agreement with their placement agency. Culver does not guarantee J-1 visas.

Our programs include:

JUNIOR WOODCRAFT CAMP (Ages 7-9):
June 10 - 13, 2026

This four-day camp is designed to give approximately 180 boys and girls, ages 7-9, a taste of the six-week Woodcraft Camp, following a similar structure complete with activity rotations, cabin/unit games, evening activities, and leadership opportunities. Our 5-to-1 staff-to-camper ratio provides the safety, leadership, and supervision younger campers deserve from a world-class camp program.

WOODCRAFT CAMP (Ages 9-14) June 19 - August 2, 2026

Culver Woodcraft Camp is a six-week, all-activity camp designed for 732 children, ages 9 to 14. Daniel Carter Beard, the founder of the Boy Scouts of America in 1911, was the first Director of the Woodcraft Camp in 1912. Over 80 electives provide an unparalleled opportunity to participate in unique activities, learn new skills, and compete in athletics and military activities, all while improving self-confidence and leadership skills.

Woodcrafters also develop an understanding of and appreciation for nature and other cultures.

UPPER SCHOOL (Ages 14-17) June 19 - August 2, 2026

Upper School is a six-week leadership development program for youth ages 14 to 17. The Upper Schools' military organizational structure is designed to instill followership, then leadership, over the course of three summers. Boys choose between Naval School, the School of Horsemanship, or the Aviation School. Girls are organized into Decks and may take the same sailing, horsemanship, or aviation classes as the boys.

All students follow a schedule that provides a healthy mix of classes, activities, and free time. Additional information regarding the Upper School can be found here.

Please note that there is a mandatory one-week summer staff orientation before Woodcraft Camp and Upper School that runs June 13 - 19, 2026. Keep in mind that some jobs require more than 1 week of staff orientation training – specifically, naval staff, lifeguards requiring certification, and other staff as assigned.
