What's New
Director's Message
Lior and Sharon Gluzberg, Owners & Director's
We founded Camp Eden in 2001 with a goal of bringing authenticity back to the world of summer camp. We transitioned to sleepover camp in 2012 with the purchase of the old Elephant Lake Lodge. As life partners and seasoned camp operators, we discovered this "diamond in the rough" on this stunning lake and realized it was the perfect, natural setting to give our campers exactly what they need. As parents to 5 kids of our own we felt like we had a good understanding of how versatile the campers needs were and how important it is to respect every campers individuality.
These days, kids are typically surrounded by screens and scheduled to go from one activity to another - and this lifestyle has even found its way into some sleepover camps. Our approach is different. We believe kids need to unplug to truly reconnect, and have a bit of free time to explore their own passions and discover the world.
At Camp Eden Woods, we strive everyday to give them that freedom to grow, challenge themselves, make new friends and most of all - lasting memories.
Since opening in 2012, our camp has grown by leaps and bounds, driven by word of mouth from one satisfied parent (and happy child) to another. We look forward to sharing the next chapter of our story with your family.
All the best from Elephant Lake,
Lior & Sharon Gluzberg
