"Camp has been the best thing that has happened to me. I appreciate everything camp has taught me and I admire the staff who had an impact on my life"
"I am missing and remembering every day I spent at camp. I'll never forget the campfires and every camper I met. I want you to know that I will use the things I learned and put them in my box of tools. After leaving the woods and coming back to the city its like more stress and like a cage. In the woods it was peaceful and beautiful"
For the past 60 years R.M. Pyles Boys Camp has helped over 24,500 boys through an outstanding summer camp experience and winter follow up program. Once a boy attends our camp he is part of the Pyles family and can call upon us at any time for assistance with school, family issues or just to know that someone is available who cares.
We are dedicated to helping boys who are at the crossroads in their lives. We help instill new attitudes and behaviors as well as teach positive alternatives to what may confront them in their daily lives. Through positive role modeling by highly trained and skilled staff most of whom are former Pyles Campers, we are able to achieve our goal of creating productive and responsible citizens.
Surveys conducted of our boys as well as letters from parents indicate that we are successful in our endeavor…as one parent wrote “…after attending Pyles Camp (my son) sees a future and before he didn’t see any future”.
All of the funds to support our programs come from foundations, corporations and individuals and our boys do not pay any fee to attend Pyles Camp.
Should you wish to help to send a deserving boy to camp, support our program, and be put on our mailing list, please contact our Executive Director, Stephen Makoff at 661-294-1394 Ext. 1 or via email at steve@pylescamp.com.
Thank you.
Several years ago we introduced our Sponsor-A-Boy program. A simple concept, we ask individuals and businesses to sponsor one or more boys from their community through the summer program and one year of post-camp contact. more...
