Camp Woodmont
Residential coed summer camp
A smaller-sized traditional summer camp with extremely close owner supervision. Camp owner Jane Bennett, along with her two children, camp directors Tyran Bennett and Alyson Bennett Gondek are hands-on camp directors with extensive qualifications (see below).
All counseling staff are college students and undergo extensive interviews, background checks and on-site director-led training including five days of climbing and high ropes training led by nationally known trainers, a four-day American Red Cross Lifeguard, CPR and First Aid certification class led by camp director and Red Cross instructor Tyran Bennett; and Archery certification. Both directors are certified horseback riding instructors and we also send staff to a horseback safety clinic. We top off all this specialty training with a full week of camp policy and activities training immediately prior to camp start.
Our family-type atmosphere means we can get to know every camper; it gives younger campers a feeling of reassurance and belonging and older campers a chance to grow and contribute in a community of support. Our traditional program includes extensive arts/crafts and performing arts as well as sports, aquatics, horseback riding, high adventure and much more.

Ramey Tennis and Equestrian Schools
Coed Youth and Adult Tennis and Equestrian Camps
Ramey Equestrian Schools is dedicated to providing excellent horsemanship and equestrian skills in a safe and fun environment. Campers learn to care for a special horse, grooming, saddling, and leading him to the arena for lessons, or preparing for the trail. Daily lesson sessions include both English and Western riding skills. Advanced campers are in a special program for eventing: dressage, jumping, and cross-country.
At Ramey Tennis Schools for adults, you won't find fancy hotels, flashy pros or "quick fixes" that you might encounter on a typical "tennis vacation". Ramey Tennis School is no vacation. What you will find are certified instructors who are determined to help you refine your game the Ramey way: biomechanical video evaluation, bone-grinding drills, and lots of blood sweat and tears. Ranked by Tennis Magazine as one of the top 25 tennis camps in the U.S. One and two week youth tennis camps are held at the begining and end of the sumer. Older youth may attend adult weekends held throughout the year. See website listed below for dates and email for questions.
Military Adventure Camp
Residential coed summer camp
The U.S. Army Cadet Corps' Military Adventure Camp is - by far - the most realistic and challenging military training program available to a teenager who is interested in our country's Armed Forces.
Basic Cadet Training (BCT). This two-week adventure is often known as "Boot Camp." Basic Cadet Training is physically and mentally demanding, with heavy emphasis on personal accountability and teamwork. Each Cadet Recruit is assigned to a platoon of 18-25 Recruits lead by a Cadet Troop Handler and trained by a qualified Drill Sergeant.

The Army Cadet Martial Arts Program (TACMAP) A one-week advanced martial arts training program based on rigid military standards, plus high-adventure recreational activities. TACMAP utilizes MCJKKD as its main training format, which includes a combination of Self Defense, Judo, Aikido, Jujitsu, Karate, Boxing and Wrestling.
