In the Summer of 2023, we’ll be offering a variety of residential summer camp sessions for campers age 5-18. We’ve enjoyed improving and strengthening our program, staff and facility and are excited to welcome you back, or for the first time! 

DuBois Center summer camp sessions offer campfires, crafts, waterfront time, and more. Many of our camp sessions have themes – if your talents and interests lie with sports, swimming, horses, science, art, or “a little of everything” – we have a session for you! 

Summer Camp

DuBois Center has a long-standing equestrian program. Our goal is to help people of all ages and abilities learn about, and enjoy, nature through horses. Guests can build self-confidence and learn new skills while working with horses.

Our programs run year-round and we welcome all groups: Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, families, churches groups, schools, and more. We provide basic training for riders before going out on the trails. Safety and fun are our priorities.

Equestrian Program

 Rainbow Camp is a day of outdoor fun with water games, canoeing, fishing, horseback riding, archery, crafts, pontoon rides and more. We finish the day with a yummy dinner as the sun sets over the lake.

Rainbow Camp was started for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer students, singles, couples and families. Allies are welcome, too.

Today was the end of my son's first week-long adventure, and he has spent the whole day gushing about how much fun he had and how kind everyone was. Our check-in and check-out experiences were excellent. Everyone was so helpful. The children stayed in lovely, spotless cottages. He is eager to return once more!
