A Special Message from Dov and Hal

Dear friends,

People ask us, how did you decide to devote your professional lives to Camp Chateaugay?

For each of us, it was really quite automatic: We love the outdoors, we love working with children and teens, and we think camp is one of the best experiences a child can have – not only for having fun and for their physical well being, but also for priceless lessons that help them grow into mature, responsible adults.

That is why we do all we can to help form a tight camp community here every summer.

A little about each of us:
