Tucked away on the pristine shores of a beautiful mountain lake in the Adirondacks, Camp Chateaugay has been the summer “home away from home” for campers aged 7 -17 years old, since 1946.

We’re a co-ed, traditional, sleep-away summer camp that’s focused as much on building independence, self confidence and deep friendships as we are on world-class training in a variety of land sports, water sports, and arts — all while having fun and creating life-long memories.

With over 250 acres of land, 25+ cabins and over 60 different electives to choose from, there is always something new to try at Camp Chateaugay.

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.
