For hundreds of years the name Robin Hood has represented the spirit of fair play, loyalty, justice, and adventure. 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.
