Camp Becket offers a unique opportunity for boys to build a strong foundation for life. Through activities like team sports, rope courses, and hiking, boys learn values such as respect, cooperation, and resilience. Campers also gain an appreciation for nature and the outdoor environment, as well as the skills to navigate life’s challenges. In addition, our counselors provide a fun and encouraging atmosphere that allows boys to make strong, lasting friendships. Our boys leave camp with a newfound sense of confidence and a set of skills that they can use for the rest of their lives.
