About Camp Lohikan
Camp Lohikan has been creating unforgettable summer memories since 1957! Our director, Mark Buynak, has been part of Lohikan since the very beginning and has been leading the camp for over 30 years. With a management team boasting over 200 years of combined experience, we’re passionate about delivering the very best that summer camp has to offer—and trust us, there’s a lot to offer!
From arts and sports to adventure activities, Camp Lohikan has it all. With more than 65 activities running daily, campers can dive into everything from paintball and jet skiing to pottery and rock band. We offer top-notch instruction at every level, with experienced professionals guiding beginners through advanced learners, all supported by enthusiastic, college-enrolled activity specialists.
One of the best parts? Campers entering fifth grade and up get to choose their own activities! That means every day is packed with your favorites, making camp even more exciting. When kids get to pick what they love, enthusiasm skyrockets, participation flourishes, and skill levels grow. Plus, it's the perfect way to meet new friends who share your interests! While your bunkmates will always be your core crew, activity time introduces you to even more campers, expanding your friendships and making the summer an amazing mix of fun, learning, and connection.

Work At This Camp
A great camp experience starts with an amazing staff, and at Camp Lohikan, we take pride in assembling a top-notch team! Our in-cabin counselors are college-enrolled students, with more than half returning each summer—meaning every cabin has at least one experienced counselor. With an average age of 21, our counselors are at least 19 years old and typically college sophomores, many pursuing degrees in education or child development. We personally recruit from universities across the country to ensure our staff is well-prepared to support campers. Plus, with so many returning team members, our counselors bring valuable experience in working with first-time campers, making every summer a smooth, welcoming, and unforgettable experience!
International Campers
ENGLISH TUTORING
Many international campers enroll at Lohikan with the goal of improving their English speaking skills. Having a basic understanding of English is helpful, but you do not have to speak it perfectly to have a successful experience. Being immersed in our English-speaking environment helps our international campers master their English skills quickly. Our American campers and staff are eager to help if a fellow camper is having a problem understanding. Lohikan offers international campers 3 FREE, one-hour English tutoring classes their first week in camp. Additional private tutoring lessons are also available.
TRANSPORTATION
International campers fly into one of the airports located in New York (LaGuardia or JFK) or New Jersey (Newark Airport). A member of our staff will be there to pick up your child. For departure, a member of our staff will escort your child/children to the airport. Additionally, we have numerous families who accompany their children to the US, and bring them to one of our bus locations in the New Jersey or New York area.
COMMUNICATIONS
Each International camper will call home on their day of arrival to assure parents of their safe travel. During their stay at camp, all campers have daily access to email. Campers can email home every day. Campers can also receive emails. We print the emails and deliver the mail to the camper on a daily basis. Parents can also make arrangements to telephone their camper during their stay at camp.
