Campers walk together

Rookie Camp

Calling all 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders!

Thinking of overnight camp? Want to see if Walden is the right fit?

Then ROOKIE CAMP is for you!

Campers will spend four days at Walden, from 2 pm on Friday until 10 am on Monday. Rookies will participate in a variety of activities, play in team sports, watch a bunk show, sing at campfire, sleep in a bunk and spend time with their Campsister.

Your rookie camper will make new friends, try new things, and gain a sense of independence and self-confidence that all Walden campers experience.


We also offer private tours when camp is in session.

Rookie Camp at Walden made me so happy because all the people there are so kind and loving. You even get camp sisters that are so nice, caring, and make you feel welcome. You get a taste of everything at Rookie Camp!
