"At Sangamon, I get to make my own schedule, every day. Nobody tells me where I have to be and when. The freedom to choose how I spend my day gives me the freedom to be myself."
-Third Year Camper, Age 13

Betsey Cox
Sangamon’s Sister Camp
Betsey Cox and Sangamon share a pasture fence and a common belief in children and the self-structured program. Since its founding in 1953, Camp Betsey Cox has been a leader in girls’ camping. It continues in that role, offering young women the opportunity to develop self-confidence, initiative, and leadership in a single-gender setting. The brother-sister relationship between the camps emphasizes active friendship rather than social life. The camps are run by one family; Lorrie and Daughter Devri run Betsey Cox, Mike and son Jed run Sangamon. The camps share history and philosophies, but operate autonomously.
