At Camp Regis Applejack we create a strong, inclusive community that lasts a lifetime.
Once my daughter turned 11, I knew it was time for her to have the experience of her life at summer camp! We live in Mexico City, with all the hustle and bustle of a large complicated metropolis. Unfortunately, Mexico City is not the safest city to live in, which means our daily lives are limited to enclosed spaces. Life is comprised of home, school, and the mall. As a...
We had a great summer in 2019! There were just over 70 campers in total over the six week season. We obtained our permit from the NY Department of Health in June and welcomed our first group of campers on June 30. We admitted a roughly equal mix of local day campers, and overnight campers. Some of the highlights in the first 3 weeks were climbing St. Regis, fireworks in...
This past fall Associate Director Emily Yancey went on the American Camping Associations (ACA) Resident Camp Tours in Maine. This program was created and hosted by the ACA offices of New York, New Jersey, Maine, and New England. “The tour began Sept. 10 at girls’ camp Fernwood Cove in Harrison. The next day the group began at Camp Micah in Bridgton, followed by a tour and lunch at girls’ Camp...
The Happy Start The plan was to hike a long stretch of the Fremont River in Southern Utah from where it intersected with Rte. 12, until the next access point, which was the visitor center at Capitol Reef National Park. This was in the pre-GPS era. We had a simple topo map and a compass and estimated the hike at 12-14 miles. It was mid March and there was still...
As a parent, educator and camp leader, one of the topics I find most compelling is the importance of outdoor play to a child’s development and the strong negative impact that smart phones and technology have had in that area. Of course, technology plays an important role in our lives in 2019, but there are some flashing warning signs we would do well to pay attention to as parents and...
So far, we, the boys of Eagles 2, have done quite a bit. Athletics, drama, music, boating are just a few of the activities that have been keeping us very busy. This year, there are 17 Eagle 2’s in Crescent Lodge East. We have two campers from Puerto Rico, one from Mexico, one from France and others from all over the country. Added to the camper population are our two...

By Dave Spicer, Falcons’ Counselor It’s early morning, about 6:45. I walk over to the showers, enjoying the peace and quiet. After a shower, I return to my cabin feeling great. Then I hear them: the bells, and more bells! All of a sudden, it’s not so quiet. Jason and Chris, my co-counselors, and myself are now in the presence of 27 twelve year olds. They’re running around brushing teeth,...
For the past several months, the denizens of Camp Regis Applejack have been serenaded by hammers, saws, drills and grinding gears. When the “music” stopped, our grounds boasted three new buildings, and a renovated playhouse. The new additions – Rainbow, Pathfinders, and Timbercrest Lodges – will house Regis campers and Apprentice Counselors respectively. The Playhouse now has a raised stage and a center curtain that will enhance summer productions. In...
The arrival of campers and staff from across the United States and the world never ceases to excite us, even as we begin our camp’s 49th season. We’re so happy to welcome all of you to our camp family. We are also excited about our capital improvement program at camp. The new buildings and the beautiful additions to our community, including the front entrance, the new flagpole at the beach,...
