Camp Chateaugay offers campers the chance to unplug from technology and connect with nature, themselves and others, whilst also providing a safe, inclusive and supportive environment. Our experienced and passionate staff is dedicated to ensuring every camper has an unforgettable summer, filled with fun, learning and personal growth.
Every summer, we welcome campers from near and far. Many travel from New York City, Los Angeles, Fort Lauderdale, Washington, D.C., and Montreal, Canada via our chaperoned transportation. Others travel from international locations like Israel, France, Italy, UK, Brazil and Spain. Our experienced counselors and area directors are also diverse, with many coming to us from staff positions at educational institutions both in the U.S. and abroad.
