Our Camp: Hard to Spell, Easy to Love

Imagine a summer camp that combines all of this every single day:

The unmatched beauty of our north shore location on one of the great Adirondack Lakes
The self-discovery that starts with exceptional counselors and instructors
The delight that comes from realizing brand new talents and skills
The adventure that comes from trying brand new things with lots of support

Imagine all this happening, when all you expected was a great time:

Together we build a sense of real community, beginning with sportsmanship
Together we create a secure and supportive environment, based on respect
Together we form warm and lasting friendships . . . because we’re really nice!

And that great time you expected happens every day!
