For the past 14 years, 300+ rising 6^th–10^th graders from 19 states have spent a week of their summers at a residential camp, learning about bridge, themselves and the world around them. Moms, dads and grandparents have commented that spending a whole week in the intense bridge-learning environment with other kids their own age, balanced with lots of fun activities, was a maturing experience for their children and one they all wished they had had as kids.

We’re focused on youth who are interested in learning how to play bridge or improving their existing game. We offer multi-level, play-as-you-learn instruction as well as daily ACBL-sanctioned tournaments (duplicate pairs and Swiss Teams) with the opportunity to earn silver masterpoints.

For campers to receive credit for silver masterpoints earned, they must be ACBL members. Go to acbl.org/juniors to learn more about discounted memberships for juniors in the ACBL organization.

Balancing the learning sessions is a full program of indoor and outdoor recreation, including gym sports, ping pong, archery, billiards, 9-square, black-light dodgeball, miniature golf and more. Campers also enjoy access to pool and lake activities where they can ride the Plunge Slide down twists and turns, get launched off the famous water blob, climb the iceberg, jump on the water trampoline, relax on the sand, go canoeing or ride on a paddleboat. Lifeguards are always on duty.

Lake Williamson is a retreat center that features air-conditioned accommodations in motel and dorm-style lodging with cafeteria-style buffet meals. (Note that although our site is a Christian retreat center, our camp does not have a religious component.)

CAMPER FEE is just $450, and we have a limit of 40 campers. The postmark date of your completed application packet will determine your camper’s place on the list. Some scholarship money is available. Other optional expenses might include a linen bundle ($15 for sheets, blanket, pillow, towel and washcloth). 

We will follow the Covid-19 protocols for ACBL tournaments and current governmental regulations at the time of the camp.
