Tucked along the shores of Lake Kanawauke in Harriman State Park, Camp Ma-He-Tu is a traditional, all-girls overnight camp just one hour from New York City. Since 1937, Ma-He-Tu has been a place where girls ages 8–15 can unplug from everyday life, build lifelong friendships, and grow in confidence through adventure, creativity, and community. Surrounded by forests and lake views, campers spend their days swimming, sailing, hiking, and laughing together—embracing a summer full of fun, growth, and sisterhood.
