About CampGroup
Akeela is a proud member of CampGroup, a family-owned organization based in White Plains, New York. CampGroup’s mission is to strengthen and improve all summer camps. It does so by staying at the forefront of the camp world – maintaining and sharing the highest standards in leadership, safety, program offerings, staff recruitment and training.
For us, being part of CampGroup means that we have a built-in network of colleagues with whom we share best practices. The organization also handles many of the “back-end” components of running a camp: purchasing, payroll, accounting, legal, insurance, etc. This allows us to focus on what we do best and love most: working with campers, parents, staff members and running our camp program!
