It will be held July 16 through July 23 at Stony Acres, a 119-acre Wildlife Sanctuary/Recreational Facility owned by the students of East Stroudsburg University in Marshalls Creek.

Campers will also have the opportunity to experience the Delaware River during a two-day overnight canoe trip. Programs covering river ecology, water quality, and history of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area will be presented during this 26-mile river journey. Bald eagles, otters, deer and other wildlife have been observed on this trip. Another camp highlight is the confidence course where campers are challenged on a series of high ropes elements.
