Life at Camp Laney

FACILITIES:
     Camp Laney is located atop Lookout Mountain in the midst of a quiet wooded section. Close by on the mountain are many natural attractions--Desoto Falls, Little River Canyon, and Eagle's Cliff. The mountain climate is ideal for camping--warm days and cool nights. Beautiful Little River runs through the camp.
     The main building in camp is the lodge. The lodge contains the dining hall, a well-equipped kitchen, the camp offices, infirmary, sick rooms, and nurse's quarters.
     The facilities include a gym, a 30' by 60' swimming gym pool, stables, riding ring, horse trails, three hard tennis courts, athletic field, ropes course, climbing tower, bouldering complex, sand volleyball court, outdoor basketball court, and rifle and archery ranges.
     There is also a swimming and canoe dock on the Little River. There are sixteen cabins in camp with running water, showers and flush toilets in each, three shower houses and a toilet facility are centrally located for the convenience of all the campers.

CABIN LIFE:
Campers are divided into cabins by age and grade in school. This insures more harmonious group living and the opportunity for each boy to make friends and share experiences with others his own age. Cabin living is supervised by a minimum of two counselors in each cabin.
Our camper-counselor ratio is approximately 4-1. The Camp Laney staff strives to give each camper a great deal of personal attention. During morning cabin clean-up, each cabin is competing for the session Honor Cabin Award.

HEALTH AND SAFETY:
     Every effort is made to make each camper's stay healthy and safe. Safety rules in all areas are taught and stressed. Good health practices are encouraged by the staff. Three well-balanced meals are served daily. Meals are planned with the boys' likes and hearty appetites in mind.
     Rest hour is observed daily.
     There are two registered nurses and a doctor on the medical staff at Camp Laney.
     The camp is within twenty minutes of the hospital in Fort Payne, Alabama.
     All campers must have a completed health form on file in the infirmary.

RELIGIOUS SERVICES:
Camp Laney is a Christian camp but nondenominational. Religious beliefs and practices of all faiths are respected. Each camp day begins with our morning watch service on the banks of the Little River.
Services are held Sunday morning and many counselors give a devotional to their cabin before taps. Upon request, Catholic boys will be taken to mass.
