Adirondack Camp

Our coed sleep-away camp for kids is comprised of 180–200 young people from around the world, roughly equal in numbers of boys and girls. Compared to other overnight camps, this makes us a small camp — small enough that everyone knows your name. In addition to campers, there are 100 plus staff with typically three counselors per cabin caring for 8 to 16 campers. Adirondack sits, half-hidden, in a safe and powerful, deep forested place of astounding natural beauty surrounded on three sides by the crystal blue, drinkable waters of world famous Lake George in New York. Historically, unapologetically, purposefully, and proudly, we have no central air, no concrete swimming pool, no TV or cell phone reception, no vending machines, no electricity in the cabins, no urban center, and no paved road! Our intention is for your children to slow down, to notice the wonder of the world and not be distracted by the many technological advancements on which we’ve become so dependent. This is what makes our summer camp unique.

We are a safe place that puts kids first and, under the umbrella of your family, places each of our young charges on his or her own journey of self-discovery and personal growth.The goals are many: rest up from the pressures of modern life, make friends, feel good about one’s self, have fun, find your quiet confidence, and share in our values of cooperation, effort, leadership, growth, sharing, courage, responsibility, creativity, spirit, and independence.

The objective is singular: to have the best summer of your young life!
