Nestled on more than 400 acres in the scenic Pocono Mountains of Honesdale, Pennsylvania, Camp Towanda has been a cornerstone of the American camp tradition for over a century. Its rolling fields, private lake, and towering pines create an idyllic setting for summer adventures and lifelong memories.
Founded in 1923, Camp Towanda combines classic camp spirit with a warm, family-run atmosphere. Generations of campers return year after year to experience the same traditions—campfires, color war, and timeless activities—that have shaped the camp’s vibrant community.
From waterfront sports, tennis, and creative arts to adventure courses and performing arts, Camp Towanda offers an extensive program designed to nurture every interest and talent. Campers discover new passions, develop skills, and build friendships that last far beyond the summer.
Now guided by a dynamic new generation of leadership, Camp Towanda continues to honor its storied past while innovating for the future. This fresh vision ensures that today’s campers enjoy both the treasured traditions and the modern amenities that make Towanda a premier camp experience in the Northeast.

International Campers
Since 1923, Camp Towanda has welcomed hundreds of international campers as their home away from home. We personally guide each family through every step—from completing forms to arranging specialized transportation—and even coordinate camper-to-parent phone calls across time zones. At Towanda, we go above and beyond to ensure every camper’s transition is smooth and successful.
The majority of our featured partner camps are accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA), the nation's leading authority on camp quality, safety, and operational standards. ACA accreditation means a camp has voluntarily undergone a thorough review process evaluating areas such as health care, staff screening and training, emergency preparedness, supervision, transportation, program quality, and risk management. Camps that earn ACA accreditation must meet hundreds of recognized standards designed to help promote safe, well-managed, and developmentally enriching experiences for campers. For families, ACA accreditation provides an added layer of confidence and trust when evaluating summer camp options.
