The camp director Dr. Gregory McDonald Has developed the following Philosophy for CampCatsAway:

CampCatsAway is a place where cats learn to live and play together in a supportive and non-competitive atmosphere. Our camp program includes small group, large group, and individually chosen activities. We have thoughtfully selected program activities that will provide opportunities for each camper to be challenged and succeed, to explore and develop their creativity, and to just plain have fun. Our program is perfect for felines of both sexes between the ages of 2 months and 20 years, while a Counselors in Training Program has been designed for campers ages 15-17.

Campers are placed in cabin groups by age and gender. We do our best to accommodate cabin mate requests. Each group of five campers has their own counselor to guide them through all aspects of camp life. All aspects of our program have been observed and met the standards necessary to achieve the American Cat Association's Camp Accreditation,(There is actually no such association but it sounds official doesn’t it?) the standard of the industry in the summer camp world.

CampCatsAway also strives to maintain a one to five counselor to camper ratio in all living group situations. This provides the security and guidance in a social arena that can often prove more intimidating for campers than it really needs to be. Our counselor to camper ratio varies from activity to activity, but is based on supervision necessary for safety, individual counselor qualifications, characteristics of participants, and the objectives of the given activity area.
