Camp Life AT ISTC Facilities Just imagine 500 acres of pure beauty nestled in Pennsylvania s Pocono Mountains and overlooking our own, private Trout Lake. From our landscaped grounds, to our fields and waterfront, our facilities are reknowned for being among the best in the camp community! When parents arrive to drop off their kids, many tell us that ISTC feels like a country club...and even ask if they can stay! Health and Safety We continually improve and expand our camp facilities, keeping safety at the forefront of our minds!

Cabins Each cabin sits lakeside and is outfitted with a deck, so campers can put their feet up and enjoy the true camp feel. Cabins feature individual bathrooms and showers and are cooled by the lake breezes. Campers are assigned a cabin based on their age group and are led each week by at least 2 live-in counselors who will ensure that each camper gets the most from their camp experience! ISTC is the best camp on the planet. My son has attended for five years and it has changed his life. The owners and staff genuinely care about the kids and go to all lengths to make sure that every child has a positive experience. Even one week at ISTC will have an incredibly positive impact on your child! Parent Charyl Food Campers rave about our food!

Due to the encouragement, support, and amazing staff at ISTC, I became a better person. Without going to ISTC I would not be where I am today. Camper Matt IXTC PROGRAM (AGES 15-17) Taking Camp to a Whole New Level! What happens when 15-17 year olds design the summer camp of their dreams? Why, IXTC, of course! A sport and adventure camp that mixes extreme sports with building life skills...all while having the time of your life! But it s not just about adventure. IXTC campers develop skills that last a lifetime...skills like teamwork, leadership, confidence, independence, decision making and the ability to voice their opinions. Imagine days filled with goose bump-inducing activities like mountain biking, rock climbing, jet skiing and dune buggying. Nights are packed with excitement - nighttime laser tag, a dance party on the beach and even a dodgeball competition that pits IXTCers against the coaching staff (an all-time camper favorite). Our teens have a lot more freedom in their schedule than our younger campers. It s kind of like a camp within a camp! They have the power to customize their experience by choosing their own activities. They get to stay up later, sleep in later, and finish their week with an IXTC tradition where they spend time bonding and savoring their camp friendships.
Soccer (AGES PROGRAM 8-16) The Ultimate Experience for Soccer and Camp Loving Kids At ISTC, we ve brought together the best of two worlds: the skill training of a world-class soccer camp with the friendship-building fun of a traditional summer camp. Playing six hours of soccer each day, campers can dramatically improve upon their play. All the drills are presented in a kid-fun fashion, so while they are learning and being challenged, they are smiling and having a great time! To finish each day, campers will get the chance to perfect the skills they ve learned in the competitive environment of scrimmages. And, if that didn t already sound like a ton of fun, campers get to participate in all the amazing recreation activities like jet skiing, banana boating, and the climbing tower! Plus, everyone at soccer camp gets to enjoy campfires and s mores, recreation activities like lip sync contests, and camp dances. This is more than a camp, it will turn into your home. I ve been coming here for the past 8 summers and I can honestly say you ll be your happiest when you re there and do things that you ll never forget. Camper Brittany One thing s for certain...not only will your child leave our soccer camp more skilled than when they came, but they ll also have an absolute blast!
Weekends AT ISTC Our weekend stay overs are super popular - in fact, three out of every four campers stay the weekend! It is the perfect way to extend your camper s stay at ISTC, and it gives parents the convenience and flexibility of picking up their child on Friday, Saturday or Sunday.
