ABOUT CAMP

Our setting in the Adirondacks gives us a place where those children can be surrounded by nature, and step out our doors into pure lakes and unspoiled northern woods where they can trek and paddle into a special wilderness.

What both these attributes mean is that children come here and they grow. They succeed in new ways, and grow in confidence. They grow in the courage to take on new things. They grow their horizons. The intimate camp setting and the presence of good counselors helps them with communication skills. Being away from home and finding success in their summer world helps encourage mature independence.

The camp grows one more important thing. It helps campers see the natural world with caring eyes.

Our next generation needs this skill, and it is hard to learn it in a book or a class. There is nothing like walking in the woods with a wild fawn, or feeling the beating heart of a frog in your hands to help reopen doors to the wild world that are too often closed in our modern world.

Everyone at this camp enjoys watching campers grow, and we approach our days with the experience to help that happen from the inside out.

ACTIVITIES

We provide a healthy balance of structure and choice for your child.

Each day’s schedule offers diverse activities yet campers enjoy free time to replenish their energies. Sundays are more casual, with ample time for catching up, cleaning, and writing letters. Wednesdays are devoted to hiking or canoeing all day long in the wild. The robust array of activities features something for everyone.

Arts & Crafts 

Our eclectic o? erings are not your father’s, or mother’s, Popsicle sticks projects. From basket-making to printing to photography, we engage students to acquire and sharpen sophisticated skills. Taught by career educators, classes also feature painting, drawing, woodworking, jewelry-making, and pottery.

Archery & Riflery 

One of our most popular activities, archery and rifl ery teaches concentration, patience, and safety. Highly

trained sta? ers instill best practices in using our ranges.

Initiative Games 

Whether it's navigating "The Poison Peanut Butter Pit" or "The Alligator River," these collective games foster problem-solving, group dynamics, and teambuilding. Successes yield valuable lessons in employing inclusiveness and collaboration to defeat challenges.

Nature 

A reverence for nature imbues the AWC experience. Whether you arrive from an urban center or from a suburban or rural community, you learn that true environmental stewardship is built on comprehensive knowledge. Trained environmental professionals impart an understanding of nature and ecology that kids can apply back home.

Rock Climbing 

Our expert trainers teach the fundamentals and best practices of safe climbing. Older campers can even progress to tackling nearby Bald Mountain, which features stunning vistas from its summit at 2,350 feet. This optional activity teaches safety, builds strength, and instills confidence.

Sports 

Every day has ample opportunities for sports. The options are diverse, fun, and international, ranging from tennis, softball, basketball, and soccer to cricket and rugby as well as Capture the Flag and British Bull Dog. We get many questions about competition level- we are not a competitive sports camp. Many kids come here BECAUSE of that.

Tripping 

All campers learn outdoor living skills. After all, it’s camp! Youngsters learn about safety, how to handle

and navigate a canoe, portage, and how to pack for a trip. Other skills include first aid, fire-building and use of stoves, compass and maps, tents and shelters, and camp 

Waterfront 

Our two lovely lakes are the heart of the camps. No gasoline-powered watercraft are allowed, keeping our

waters pure and unsullied. Waterfront activities include swimming, diving, water polo, fi shing, kayaking, canoeing, rowing, sailing, and wind-surfi ng. All activities are supervised by highly skilled and responsible sta? with years of waterfront experience. Lessons are tailored to individual needs and competencies, to ensure safety 

Mountain Biking 

This increasingly popular activity accommodates every level of rider. With 500 miles of trails adjoining our property, campers can enjoy easy peddling on flat land or gear-pounding on ascents. And our in-house repair shop maintains bicycles and helmets in top condition to meet rigorous safety standards.

Tripping

Nestled between two private lakes, it has been a summer home for children since 1925. Tripping has always been a integral part of Woodcraft's program.
