Chateaugay is a co-ed summer camp for children aged
7 - 16, located on Lake Chateaugay in the Adirondack
mountains of Upstate New York. Built
as a summer estate in 1917, the camp's character has
evolved through many years.
Today,
modern activities and amenities, coupled with spectacular
wilderness opportunity, make it foremost in a summer
camp experience. Exceptional instructors and counselors
actively encourage self-discovery among campers, which
in turn, promotes self-esteem.
The
success of our camp is due to the vital role played
by our staff, which is why we go to great lengths
to find the most dedicated and experienced counselors.
A more experienced staff ensures a warmer, nurturing
environment for our campers, which is essential to
a positive camp experience.
Camp
activities are led by specialists in their field.
Camp Chateaugay has a very high return rate of staff
year after year. A larger alumni staff base gives
our campers a greater sense of family, which they
look forward to every summer.
