Frequently Asked Questions

Who operates camp and what is their background?

Lake Owego Camp is part of a camp organization that has been owned and operated by our family, the Black/Morin family, for over 90 years and 4 generations.

Jeff “Freedo” Freedman and Kyle Silver have co-directed Lake Owego since 2016. Together, they have over fifty years of camp experience. Freedo started his professional career as a lawyer and Kyle as a teacher and school administrator. Together they provide a warm, supportive, and nurturing environment for all campers and staff.

How many campers attend?

A total of 270 campers throughout the summer. Approximately 60% of campers stay for the whole summer and 40% for one of the two sessions.

What is the staff/child ratio?

Overall, there is 1 staff member for every 2 children. Each cabin sleeps 3 counselors and 10-12 children. Specialists and support staff round out the supervision.

How old are the counselors? Where do they come from?

A camp is only as good as its counselors, so we make sure we hire only the best. Most staff members are child development professionals or students that we personally recruit from colleges and universities from across the country. The average age of our counselors is 21 years and about 90% come from the United States. We are also very fortunate to have our very own campers return to work at camp to help maintain our traditions and core values.

What is the food like?

This isn’t the camp food your parents remember! With every meal at camp there are many healthy options, satisfying even the pickiest of eaters. You aren’t a pancakes for breakfast kind of person? How about yogurt? Greek yogurt? Cottage cheese? Avocado toast? Bagels and cream cheese? Fruit salad? Granola? Oatmeal? Cold cereal? The same number of options can be found at lunch and dinner, too. Camp food at Lake Owego is among the best camp food in the county; we really feel as though the kitchen is the heart of camp and the extension of home in the mountains! Our kitchens and canteen are peanut and tree nut free, and we include gluten-free, vegetarian, and kosher options at all meals. Other allergy needs are and can be met, of course! We have a team of professionals excited about providing delicious, safe, healthful meals for your children three times a day.

How often is laundry done? What should she pack?

Laundry is picked up once a week by an outside professional laundry service. We recommend that campers pack about ten days worth of clothing. Please refer to our packing list which is very helpful.

Is there a doctor or nurse in residence?

Doctors and nurses are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We have one doctor and four nurses who live at the camp and work in our new, modern health center.

What should my camper bring?

Here’s our official packing list! But as we always say, most importantly bring a big smile, a sense of adventure and a willingness to make new friends.
