What is a Brother/Sister Camp?
A brother/sister camp is actually two separate camps that come together from time to time for joint activities. Shohola Camp for Boys and Netimus are both single-sex camps which have operated as brother and sister camps for over 60 years. The camps are 14 miles apart.

“Camp Netimus is everything you could want a camp to be. My daughter has become more independent, more resilient, and more thoughtful. She has become more comfortable in her own skin and has learned what real friendship is about. Netimus is a warm environment where every girl is appreciated and shines. And that’s not to mention the fun! She has so much fun–horseback riding, ropes course, sports, paddleboarding, and sliding down the giant inflatable slide into the lake! She loved being able to choose her activities and I love that the activities are mixed ages. Everyone knows everyone and the older kids look out for the younger ones. The lake is gorgeous and the setting is so beautiful. It’s not a fancy camp–it’s a genuine one.”
