How many campers and staff does Walt Whitman have?
There are 300 campers equally divided between boys and girls in Main Camp, comprised of children who have completed grades 2 through 7. Senior Camp, our separate teen program, has 90 boys and girls. Our low camper/staff ratio is important; there are more than 200 full-time staff members. Our counselors are all college-age or older. Many of our staff return each summer, and many are former Walt Whitman campers. Most of our campers are from the middle and northeastern states. We also attract campers from the mid-west, Florida, Texas, Maryland, Washington, D.C., Virginia, Georgia, California and Canada.
