Situated on 267 acres of rolling hills and woodlands, with a picturesque lake as its centerpiece, the Jacobs Camp’s grounds provide a relaxing, natural setting to experience the summer. And, our modern facility, including more than 30 buildings and a diverse range of recreational spaces, all of which are fully-accessible, insures we have a place for everyone to have a great time! 

Cabins

Campers are divided by age group into cabins of around 12 kids and 2-3 counselors. Our cabins are clean and spacious, giving each camper their own personal space, while encouraging community and bonding among cabinmates. Bathrooms are located in each cabin building, and all cabins are air conditioned to keep campers comfortable.
