Camp Country Lad

Camp Country Lad is a rustic residential camp for boys ages 7-15 in the heart of the Cumberland Mountains. Founded in 1962 by Malcolm Williams, Camp Country Lad centers on the development of the “whole boy” not just on the skills he learns. Lasting benefits may be reached in an atmosphere that is safe and filled with fun and happiness. Camp Country Lad provides boys from all over the country a unique opportunity to grow in character, share experiences, and build friendships that last a lifetime through participation in a wide variety of camping activities and simple living in the out-of-doors.

Located on 1,400 acres of woods and pastures on the Cumberland Plateau of Tennessee, Camp Country Lad has remained a “home away from home” to boys for over 60 years. Camp Country Lad, along with our sister camp, Camp Monterey, continues to be directed by the Williams family, along with a dedicated and experienced senior staff.
