Adirondack Camp

About Adirondack Camp

Our coed summer camp community 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.

75% of our campers return for another summer. Younger siblings follow their brothers and sisters in droves. We also have our fair share of 'legacy families' — campers whose parents, grands and greatgrands all attended ADK. Together we form an invisible chain of generations spanning over a century, building bold hearts and strong character.

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 collaboration, creativity, integrity, leadership, growth, community, courage, curiosity, spirit, respect, compassion and independence.

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

Just a few hours' drive from big city civilization (Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, and Montreal), Adirondack Camp lies within the Adirondack State Park in New York. The Park is a constitutionally protected 2.3 million acre Forest Preserve which contains the famous Adirondack peaks, thousands of streams, brooks and lakes, including Lake Placid, the two-time site of the Winter Olympic Games and Fort Ticonderoga, the scene of America's first victory against British invasion during the American Revolution.
