It’s time to Reconnect, Reengage and Regain the value of a summer camp experience! Independent Lake Camp is a premier overnight camp in the Poconos for ages 6-17. ILC is dedicated to being a diverse community with powerful individualized programming, and top-notch facilities & staff. We have been offering respect, creativity and understanding in a challenging and nurturing environment for 30 years.

The friendships and connections that are developed at ILC are what makes our community so special. We are a fantastic circus, sports, dance, performing arts, music, aquatics, fine & digital arts, skateboarding, high ropes, role playing games, nature and equestrian camp all rolled into one.

Community Love

"I am continually inspired by the campers and staff at ILC to be courageous, try new ideas, think outside of the box, be accepting and be kind. One of the best moments was watching my son get caught on the flying trapeze. To see his hard work, dedication, patience and persistence (and all of the same qualities of the staff) resulted in a priceless moment. After a tough year at school, seeing him soar was amazing."
