Geneva Glen Camp is a co-educational, non-profit, residential summer camp located in Indian Hills, Colorado. It was founded in 1922 at its current site. The mission statement of the camp reads, "The mission of Geneva Glen is to develop character, values and leadership, nurtured by a camp family that thrives on its diversity, friendships and meaningful traditions." Geneva Glen is reputed for the high rate of return for its campers and staff. Its website states that, on average each year, 70% of campers and 65% of staff return from the previous summer. Each summer Geneva Glen holds five overnight sessions independent of each other, as well as a sixth shortened session in December for its older campers. These are discussed in the "Sessions" section below.

Famous quotes containing the words geneva and/or camp:
“Wise men read very sharply all your private history in your look and gait and behavior. The whole economy of nature is bent on expression. The tell-tale body is all tongues. Men are like Geneva watches with crystal faces which expose the whole movement.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Detachment is the prerogative of an elite; and as the dandy is the nineteenth century’s surrogate for the aristocrat in matters of culture, so Camp is the modern dandyism. Camp is the answer to the problem: how to be a dandy in the age of mass culture.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
