About
-
Camp Lohikan is a traditional summer camp for boys and girls of the ages 6 to 15. We are located in the Pocono Mts. of northeastern Pennsylvania in the village of Lake Como. We're about 2.5 hours from New York City.
Camp Lohikan has been operated by the Buynak Family since 1957. We are warm, welcoming camp community dedicated to caring for our campers and staff. Our goal is to provide an environment of support and encouragement where children will try new things and grow in the process. We are searching for individuals who are kind and willing to put kids first always.
Our daily program features more than 65 arts, sports and adventure activities. Campers entering 6th grade and older get to choose all of their activities. Young campers travel with their counselors as a cabin group.
While we have a very active inter-camp games program, Camp Lohikan is not considered a competitive camp. Beginner through advanced instruction is provided in all of the activities we offer. Our emphasis is on FUN, participation and sportsmanship, not winning or losing.
The camp personality is very friendly. This is not a "fashion" camp. Kids come to Lohikan to make friends, learn new skills and most of all have FUN.
We take great pride in our staff. Most of our staff members are returning and they set the tone for the camp which is known for its caring, nurturing atmosphere. High energy, mature individuals who enjoy working with kids, and want to make a positive impact upon young people, are encouraged to apply! -
Management
Camp Lohikan had its beginning in 1957 when Mike and Arline Buynak purchased a 68 acre campsite in Lake Como, Pennsylvania. Mike and Arline opened the camp for girls and boys and over the years expanded the facility into the 1200 acre, state of the art, summer camp known as Camp Lohikan.
In 1983 Mike and Arline's son, Mark, assumed the full-time directorship of Camp Lohikan. Mark’s camp experience began as a camper at the age of 5 and over the years included most of the camp's counseling and supervisory positions. First-hand knowledge of camper life means a lot and it's evident in the selection of our child-centered, fun-loving counselors and caring supervisors, the design of the daily program, range of activity choices and even the little, but important, things like how we celebrate camper birthdays and tooth fairy visits!
