Starting in September 2025, a 5% discount will be applied to all Camp Robin Hood programs attended by children of Walden Staff Alumni!
Camp Robin Hood is the sister camp to Camp Walden and the starting point for many kids’ first experiences of summer camp. Camp Robin Hood’s directors, Howie and Sari, are the co-owners of Camp Walden along with Sol and his wife, Jen. They are joined by their daughter, Jordanna, the next generation director at Camp Robin Hood, who also spent her childhood and young adulthood as a Camp Walden camper and staff member. Together, this family leadership makes Walden and Camp Robin Hood truly part of one big family, and helps ensure that your child’s transition to full-fledged overnight camp is a smooth and meaningful one.
Camp Robin Hood provides the ideal “pre-sleep away camp” option with the focus on cabins and traditional summer camp experience. Our camps’ shared values of inclusion and acceptance are there from the start of your camper’s journey and continue every summer.
An experienced leadership team that ensures the highest quality staff and training for both camps. Communication between Robin Hood and Walden ensures that your child’s needs are addressed as they move from day camp to overnight.
Finally, your family becomes part of our family! Howie, Sari & Jordanna, and the rest of the team, watch your child grow every summer, providing the attention and care that makes camp both fun and empowering.
Please note that cabin grouping at Robin Hood does not impact or indicate cabin grouping at Walden.
The Walden Long Weekend is designed to introduce Camp Walden to kids who are ready for a little taste of overnight camp life and the opportunity to experience all that Camp Walden has to offer! Campers who have recently completed grade 1 will spend quality time with our incredible staff, as well as playing and creating memories with our regular campers.
Campers will also get to have a one-on-one campfire chat with the camp directors—a unique opportunity that will have new campers ready for our incredible overnight camp experience.
We invite all Camp Walden families, alumni, and prospective campers’ families and friends for a chance to enjoy the Walden experience together. Priority will be given to those families who have registered campers and have never visited the property before.
Enjoy meals in our Dining Hall, activities on our private lake, sports activities galore, and our spacious cabins with your family and friends. Included in this memorable weekend will be evening programs, campfires, games and much more!
We hope you will join us for a unique weekend combining family time and the fun of summer camp.
