Camp buildings and other facilities are named for persons and happenings in the great story Robin Hood. The camp is ideally located in the center of the state-20 miles east of Galesburg, between the communities of Victoria and Dahinda. More than 400 acres make Camp Sherwood one of the finest camping sites in the nation. Beautiful, well-kept grounds provide a healthy, clean atmosphere and complement the natural hills, trees, and paths that surround the camp. Future plans call for continued expansion of camp facilities as finances permit.
Campers get a supervised, satisfying, nutritional diet.
All food is prepared in the modern kitchen by licensed cooks. Meals are served in the spacious dining room. Campers learn swimming, cooking, knot-tying, fire building, fishing, boating, woodcraft, hiking, archery, canoeing, games and story telling. A water and boating safety program is taught by Illinois Department of Conservation. There is also a visit from the Illinois State Police K-9 Officers with a demonstration and detailed discussion.
