Happy New Year and welcome to 2020! We are so excited for our 2020 summer and all the wonderful things it will bring. We are excited to be starting some new and exciting adventures for our campers this season. We are working alongside programs such as The Wild Center, Paul Smiths College, and The Adirondack Trust to bring these new adventures to light. Our campers are now going to be able to help conserve hiking paths, learn about the culture and history of the native peoples of the Adirondacks, and work towards making our planet sustainable.

And the kids seem to really enjoy themselves,” said Mary. The newly renovated Playhouse Garage is the site of our darkroom...
In addition to our already existing, fabulous drama and dance programs, we have added a music program that looks to be something rather special. Kelly Deyo, a Music Education Major at SUNY Potsdam, will be working with both instruments, which can be easily transported to camp, should plan to bring their instrument and participate in this new program. We have plans to get together some instrument and choral performances for...
