Founded in the early 1920s, the
Sherwood Forest Boys and Girls Camp was conceived and is designed to
provide a meaningful summer program for the children of Sherwood
Forest. The goal was and is to offer the best elements of a traditional “away-from-home” camp program while providing both parents and children
mutual enjoyment of the summer together under one roof. The program is
designed to meet the following objectives:
| 1. A sense of good sportsmanship. |
| 2. Competent instruction and guidance. |
| 3. Development of athletic skills. |
4. A desire for community involvement
and responsibility. |
| 5. A spirit of friendship and comradeship with others. |
| 6. An enthusiasm for participation. |
7. An appreciation and care for our
natural environment. |
8. A sense of competitive spirit
through
wholesome fun and camaraderie. |
| 9. Respect for all. |
| 10. Development of leadership skills. |
The Sherwood Forest Boys & Girls Camp is operated solely for the benefit of the children and
guests of Sherwood Forest members.
