The Cabin Experience

Our cabins are places where lifelong friendships are formed, laughter is contagious, and campers develop trust and empathy towards one another.  Whether your child comes to camp alone or with a friend or family member you can be assured that Dunes Learning Center works hard to set our Cabin Leaders and campers up for success by thoughtfully placing every individual camper into a cabin where they will be respected, included and cared for at camp.  

Dunes Learning Center has more than 20 years of experience working with children and we look forward to making your child’s summer camp experience a positive one. We are dedicated to providing safe and comfortable housing for campers of all gender expressions and identities. We will work with you and your camper to determine the best cabin assignment. Contact the Camp Director prior to the start of camp with any questions.

Our cabin assignment process takes into account variables such as age, years of attending camp, cabin mate requests, and more.  We strive to create a positive, diverse and comfortable cabin community by balancing the ratio of campers that know each other and those that don’t.  There is nothing harder than being the “new kid” assigned to a cabin where everyone knows each other already.  This is why Dunes Learning Center allows ONE mutual cabin mate request.  

Due to staffing recruitment, boys aged 9-13 may be placed in a cabin with a female cabin leader.

Making a Cabin Mate Request 

Cabin mate requests may be made when you complete your online registration for camp. Your desired cabin mate must also request your camper on their registration. If you have any questions regarding cabin mates, please contact the Camp Director by email.

Spending Time With Friends

Campers will stay in small trail groups of 6-9 people throughout the week of camp.  During the day, they travel in these trail groups.  This gives your camper an opportunity to make new friends. Campers enjoy many different activities and structured free time.
