Camp Twin Creeks

What Camp Twin Creeks does

Camp Twin Creeks is a privately held, for-profit traditional sleepaway summer camp operating as Twin Creeks Camp LLC at a ~150-acre site in Minnehaha Springs near Marlinton, West Virginia. The company serves families with children ages 7-16, with camper cohorts organized across Littles, Middles, and a Senior Village for rising 9th-11th graders, including a Counselor-in-Training track that funnels older campers into staff roles. Core products are the two-week Traditional Sleepaway Camp ($4,100), the introductory Dream Week ($2,200, extending to a full 2 weeks), the Extended 4-week stay ($8,200), and Super Session 4 specialized tracks (Classic Adventure, TC Broadway, Discover WV, In The Saddle at +$450). Programming centers on a four-pillar Youth Development Philosophy, the MasterClass elective system in which campers focus on two activities across their two-week session, and the STARFISH character recognition program; companion offerings include Family Camp (weekend, waitlisted), Alumni Weekend, and optional fee-based add-ons such as white-water rafting and horseback riding.

The commercial engine is direct-to-consumer: enrollment runs through the CampMinder/CampInTouch portal, Bunk1.com handles in-summer parent communications, and demand is built via a content-rich website, an active Instagram/Facebook/TikTok presence, camp-fair attendance, virtual Q&A Zooms, and a structured referral program ($300+ per referral) plus a $300 sibling discount. Approximately 10% of the camp population draws internationally (documented families from Paris and Geneva, with airport meet service via Dulles). Operations are staffed by ~100 seasonal employees under a year-round leadership team led by Directors Iain and Amy McClements (in role since 2001), supported by Hannah Schacht, Jeff Rocco, Lisa Gargiulo, and Katie Powers. The business holds voluntary American Camp Association (ACA) accreditation on a five-summer cycle and reports no outside investors, no parent company, and disclosed that over $500,000 in camperships have been disbursed over the past five years. Underlying technology is intentionally minimal at the camper experience layer (screen-free), with SaaS dependencies limited to enrollment, parent communications, scheduling, and standard website analytics.
