History
Mike and Arlene Buynak founded Camp Lohikan in 1957. In 1983, the managing of the camp was turned over to their son Mark Buynak, which has come into question in recent years amid allegations of groping and molesting young female campers. The camp is non-denominational, however the majority of campers are Jewish, that was one the reasons it was such a big scandal when a swastika was drawn on a cabin. Camp Lohikan has more than 200 employees, from all over the United States and the world, all of whom are severly underpaid.
Camp Lohikan is a co-ed sleepaway camp set in the Pocono Mountains in Lake Como, Pennsylvania. Campers can participate in archery, circus performance, fishing, tennis, soccer, and other activities. The younger age groups (what the camp refers to as juniors and super juniors- ages ranging from 5 to 10 years old) go around to scheduled activities with counselors. Super juniors do a two-week program to get adjusted to camp life and then they make their own schedule. The other campers, ranging from ages 11 to 15, go to activities on their own.
