Camp Whitman strives to include people with diverse interests, backgrounds, and abilities in all of our programs. Acceptance and participation in the program are the same for everyone. Individuals of all faiths, races, sexual orientations, creeds, gender expressions or gender identities are welcome and encouraged to attend. 

Religious Affiliation

Camp Whitman on Seneca Lake is an affiliated outdoor ministries program of the Presbyteries of Geneva and Genesee Valley in central New York State, the Northeast Synod of the Presbyterian Church, U.S.A and the PCUSA.

Campers participate in kid-friendly camp worship services and in a morning reflection each day. Prayer, reflection and the singing of songs is part of our program. Our aim is to teach positive values and lessons while living in healthy community with one another. Our programming is not aimed at “converting” participants to the Presbyterian denomination or Christianity. Campers are not required to be Presbyterian or Christian. We meet each camper wherever they are at in their personal faith journey, and provide a fun, safe place to learn about themselves, one another and the natural world.
