    If you really want to know the Skylemar ethos, you just gotta check out the Talent Show. Tonight’s show included 32 acts!  That meant a total of 57 campers were brave enough to go on stage and perform in front of the entire camp.   Some acts were super impressive and proved that Skylemar really does...

    It’s one part Shep, one part all the counselors, one part older kids … and it becomes contagious.  Immediately the rest of the camp catches it.  And that’s how we make it Skylemar…. It’s the vibe!  It’s the cheers and laughter.  It’s that upbeat positive atmosphere that you feel most of all at Skylemar meals. ...

    What’s Murph Monday?  It’s what the brave, strong and dedicated do at 7 AM.   You run a mile, do 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 squats and then run another mile.  It’s fine to break up the exercises 5-10-15, and then do that set 20 times.  Wowza.  Congrats to Max P, Asher, Dillon F, Nate F...

    Posted in Blog, Blog 2025, Latest
    At Skylemar, it’s rare that someone knows the time of day, let alone the date.  No need for clocks – we go by our stomachs.   If we forget, there’s a bugle for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and a reminder for snack on the way to Third Period. For the most part, time flies at Skylemar. ...

    Let’s take it backwards… After a day filled with good, hard play, we slowed it down with Spirit Night for Evening Activity.  It’s a weekly time when the camp gathers together on the Rec Hall field for a non-denominational service focused on gratitude, love and appreciation. Each week a different bunk gets to lead Spirit...

    How do we celebrate the 4th of July at Skylemar?  We start by cleaning up!  It’s GACU – The Great American Cleanup.  Shep calls it “the trifecta of clean”.  First you take a power shower, next head over to The Spa, then it’s on to the Infirmary for a health check. Where is this Skylemar...

    It’s the hottest ticket on the East Coast.  The waiting list is 364 days long -- definitely the place to see and be seen.  Hours are limited, so you must be on time. Leaving the Bellagio in the dust, it’s the one and only gambling casino where the house never wins.  It’s… SADE’S PALACE! You...
