Camps for Kids New York, Camps for Teens Adirondacks, Camps in Adirondacks

Based in the Adirondack Mountains, Camp Chateaugay is a short distance from the High Peaks region. Our tripping program takes advantage of our location, and campers are taken out backpacking in the spectacular high peaks region of the Adirondacks, and canoeing on magnificent lakes in the area, including Saranac Lakes.

The tripping program is supervised by mature staff members with extensive outdoor experience, who teach our campers the value of nature, low impact camping, and many outdoor skills. Older campers are taught how to plan, organize, and pack out for trips, and are given leadership positions in a group setting.

In addition to canoe and hiking trips, which each cabin may enroll for, our tripping program also offers specialized trips, which all campers can sign up for. For example, we offer extended sailing on Lake Champlain, mountain biking, white-water rafting, rock-climbing, and other additional overnights.
