As Camp has grown in Arizona from a mere concept in the Spring of 2020 to a full-fledged summer program with over 20+ electives in 2023, we are proud to announce that we will be returning to Camp Reimagined for the 2024 season.
Located in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains, just 2 hours outside of New York City, Camp Reimagined rest in 1,000 acres of pristine wilderness and is a collection of beautiful lakes, streams, waterfalls, ridges, vistas and miles of hiking trails. Founded as a YMCA camp in the early 20th century, Camp Huguenot now serves thousands of campers from the Northeast and beyond.
We are excited to continue building a strong partnership & to serve families in the Northeast!
With lots of history, the beauty of the natural landscape, and the alignment in values of diversity & inclusion, we believe this partnership will be a great next step towards sharing mindfulness summer camp with even more campers than ever before!

We offer our families tiered pricing. Please take a moment to look at the rate descriptions below and determine which of the three prices your family is able to pay for your child’s camp experience. Price selection is done strictly on an honor system. If you can afford to pay the full fee (Tier 1), please do so. If you cannot, simply select the price which is right for your family’s circumstances. There is no difference in the camp experience for campers registered at different tiers and tier selection is kept confidential.
TIER 1
This rate most accurately reflects the true cost of camp, including operational, general, administrative expenses, and our mission to make access to camp equitable for all children. If you can afford to pay this fee, please do so.
TIER 2
This is our partially subsidized rate for camp that covers most operational costs supported by the generosity of Camp Tuku supporters and donors.
TIER 3
We believe all children should have a transformational summer camp experience & we never want the cost of camp to be a barrier to access. This rate is subsidized at approximately 25% of the true cost of camp. Families who may need additional assistance in sending their campers to Camp Tuku may apply for our scholarship program using the following link: Apply for a Camp Tuku Campership.
At Camp Tuku, our mission is to provide a holistic approach to the camp experience for kids; a program designed to integrate the mind, body, and heart, giving kids skills early in life to help them nurture inner resilience.
With a focus on developing mindfulness skills, our unique summer camp experience offers a great opportunity for kids to learn and practice simple, fun tools for the development of self-awareness, as well as practices that will enable them to respond more effectively to the inevitable stress of every-day life. At Camp Tuku, we aim to nurture the mind, body, and heart.
From the time campers wake up to the time they hit the pillow at night, each day at Camp Tuku is designed to allow children time and space to connect their inner worlds to nature through fun and mindful activities. Here is a sample schedule of a day at Camp Tuku:

Why Camp Tuku?
We offer a camp experience like no other. We focus on nurturing young minds and building life skills while campers build special friendships and participating in fun camp activities.
After their time at Camp Tuku, your children will:
- KNOW: how to manage stress and be resilient, enabling them to be happier and healthier.
- HAVE: simple, proven techniques that kids can apply at any time to help manage their emotional state, tap into their creativity, and be even more resourceful in overcoming obstacles in their lives.
- FEEL: happy and excited about the connections made with new friends and the fun activities they have enjoyed together
How can I tell if my child is ready for camp? What if my child gets homesick during camp?
Our campers range from 6 to 17 years of age. We encourage you to speak with your child about his/her willingness and readiness for camp. You can help a child who says they are ready by letting them know you are confident that they can succeed and have a great time at camp. Most campers adjust quickly to camp life, others may need a day or so. Sometimes a camper may feel a bit unsettled at first, especially the first night. We understand that this may happen and work hard to make the first days extra special. Our mindfulness practices will also help them understand their emotions, including sadness, anxiety, and fear. We firmly believe that once your camper is involved, engaged, and getting to know their bunk mates and staff, their outlook on camp will be positive and enthusiastic.
Can you accommodate food allergies at camp?
We will do our best to accommodate dietary needs including offering vegetarian and vegan options. We will also work to accommodate campers with allergies to the best of our ability, but we cannot guarantee that during the manufacturing or kitchen preparation process there has not been cross-contamination.
How can I communicate with my child at Camp Tuku?
There are a lot of ways you can communicate with your child while at camp. We still encourage the old-fashioned letter. Campers love receiving letters in the mail! You will also have the ability to e-mail your child (we print out emails daily and distribute them with the regular mail). However, campers are not allowed to send e-mails.
Do you post photos of the children when camp is in session?
Our photographer will post photos to our camp management software (CRM). You will have access to your child’s precious moments at camp through the secure Parent Dashboard. You will also be able to download pictures, watch videos, and even grant access to extended family members.
What is the policy regarding cell phones and other electronic devices?
The only electronic device allowed at camp are music-only iPod that does not have access to the internet or Gizmo watches.
