The sun is shining, the welcome banners are waving, the buses arriving…then the arms open up and the hugging begins.

In Camp Regis Applejack, the surroundings are pristine and absolutely beautiful. Take a deep breathe and smell the fresh Adirondack air. But when the 7:30 am wake up bell rings its time to hear moans and groans from the Eagle Boys who want to sleep more.

Jim in his kerchief and...

The Robin Nest is also bursting with talent as well....

The AJ II A Girls are a fun and enthusiastic group. Even though it has only been a week since we met, it seems as though we’ve known each other forever. No matter our differences, we have quickly learned to work together and learn from each other. We are always willing to try new and different things such as water-skiing, knee boarding, and canoeing. We have been mountain biking, sailing...

The nature area is in full swing with frog catchers galore. I plan to start with insect activities. We have plenty of bug catchers and magnifying glasses. On night activities we will be studying glowers and flashers, and doing a night safari with flashlights. We have plenty of puppies, kittens and rabbits to go around for petting. Come on down and join the fun! – Michelle Van Vorst, Nature specialist
