Conveniently located at Rock Spring Park in Long Valley since 1996, Camp Musconetcong continues to provide for the recreational, social and developmental needs of campers entering Kindergarten through sixth grade. Campers are treated to a varied program that includes a weekly off-site trip, sports skills, arts and crafts, BBQ’s, games, science, nature, music and cooking. Two afternoons of swimming at the Hackettstown Community Pool and special activities each week round out the fun-packed schedule.

EXPLORERS “TRIP” CAMP Grades 6-9

MVCA Explorers Camp travels each day to recreational, cultural, and historic sites in New Jersey, New York and Penn-sylvania, including amusement and water parks, movies, sporting events, tours, the beach, museums, hiking, arcades and much more. We promise a wide variety of age-appropriate destinations, group activities and social time.

COUNSELOR-IN-TRAINING PROGRAM Grades 9-10

A Counselor-in-Training (C.I.T.) program for students entering ninth or tenth grade is offered at Camp Musconetcong. C.I.T.s receive training led by the camp director and staff, and assist counselors with their duties. Each C.I.T. com-pletes a project that he/she designs and presents to the camp. Participants learn about child development, program design, safety, first aid and leadership. C.I.T. candidates must be motivated, eager to learn, and willing to participate in all camp activities. The course requires a four-week commitment.
