Dan and Anne Gould with their grandkids (2013)
25 years ago, when looking for a summer camp for our 10 children, we couldn't find the right one, so we started our own. We have dedicated our lives to develop a camp environment that is safe, fun, enriching, creative, and fosters independence.We have a realistic understanding of the social climate and challenges that your children and teenagers face today. Independent Lake Camp, 24 years and counting, invites you to join our next generation.

We are aware and sensitive to the fact that selecting a Summer Camp can be very emotional and difficult, often times rich with anxiety. We would like the opportunity to have a Director come to your home and give you a thorough presentation about Independent Lake Camp and answer any and all questions you and your child may have. To be clear, this home visit would be free of pressure and by no means represents any sort of commitment on your end.
Feel free to take advantage of this offer no matter what your level of interest may be. We are very proud of what we have been able to accomplish at ILC and the vision and creative program we have made a reality! It would be our pleasure to come and have a conversation at your home, at your convenience. Please email us at info@independentlake.com or call our office at (800) 399-2267 to schedule your home visit! We look forward to hearing from you today!
Create your own summer and only go to activities that interest you. You want Extreme Sports? We've got it. You want Circus? We've got it. You want Theatre Arts, Rock Music, Sports, Water-skiing the list goes on....we've got it.
No flag calls, no uniforms, no trumpets, no early to rise or early to bed... hey it's summer time, let's rock it. Now you know where the term 'Happy Camper' came from!
Independent Lake Camp is a superior Pocono Mountain, Pennsylvania sleepaway summer camp dedicated to a diverse community, committed creativity, superb facilities, and powerful, individualized programming. Our coed summer camp offers boys and girls ages 6-17 the option of a 2,4,6 or 8 week session. ILC is quite simply one of the best overnight summer camps in Pennsylvania, the Northeast and America. We are a fantastic circus camp, dance camp, performing arts camp, skateboard camp, arts camp, sports camp, rock music camp, computer camp and go-kart camp all rolled in to one awesome summer experience for your child.
ILC is pleased to introduce our new Athletic Director, Philippe David. We believe that Phil’s personal and professional experiences are a perfect match, reflecting our commitment to a fantastic Sports’ department as well as the value derived from an individual with boundless energy and impressive skills and professional experiences teaching and coaching children.
During the academic school year, Phil teaches French and Spanish at Upper Merion Area High School in Suburban Philadelphia. He is also the Varsity Boys’ and Girls’ Head Tennis Coach.
A Lacrosse standout, Philippe was the 4-year Captain at Shippensburg University, located in Eastern Pennsylvania. Phil graduated with a Bachelors of Arts in French and Spanish from Shippensburg in 2005 and subsequently earned a Masters in Education from Chestnut Hill College. He has a myriad of experiences as a player and a coach of youth soccer, softball, baseball, basketball and lacrosse. Phil appreciates and values the academic, social and emotional development of young athletes at all levels.
Prior to Phil’s teaching career, he was the Director of Travel for a teen travel company where he led over 40 international trips. Philippe’s dual citizenship (American/ French), life-long global travel experiences and understanding of today’s teens provide us and our camp community an invaluable addition to ILC’s diverse community.
Phil is married to ILC legendary Alumni Kelly (Huston) David, and together have an eighteen-month old son Max.
