Overview
Adirondack Camp is a traditional, rustic sleepaway camp for boys and girls ages 7–16, situated on a private peninsula along Lake George in the Adirondack Mountains of New York. Founded in 1905, it offers a screen-free, nature-immersive experience with a strong emphasis on community, outdoor adventure, and personal growth. Campers enjoy a wide range of activities—from sailing and rock climbing to arts and wilderness trips—while staying in open-air cabins with no electricity, fostering a deep connection to nature and each other.

Welcome Message
Matt Basinet, Camp Director since 1996
I believe that Adirondack Camp is a place where a child is able to develop self confidence and take safe risks. It is a place where a child can play, challenge themselves, and where they learn to reach their full potential. It is a place where strong, lasting friendships and memories are forged. Adirondack is a place that remains in the hearts of all the campers, staff and families forever.
