In each cabin, a minimum of 2 counselors are assigned. They live in the cabin, with private living quarters, and are there to ensure campers are safe and having fun. Each camp activity is lead by at least one member of staff (over 18 years of age) who is trained and experienced to lead. In addition to counselors, we have director level staff who oversee all of camp operations. Our camp to staff/counselor ration is 1:3.
Each must pass a rigorous hiring process, background checked, CPR/First Aid certified, and prove proficient in leading assigned camp activities.
Camper staff attend pre-camp training (10 days) prior to camp. The training covers wide array of camp topics which include mental health training, camp safety policies, dealing with homesickness, identifying/stopping bullying, identifying abuse, etc.
We are a camp of inclusion, acceptance, and respect. Any form of discrimination is unacceptable.
We are a no tech camp, which includes cell phones.

Our daughters have been going to CDJA for years and couldn’t be happier. From the different sports and art activities, to the multiple friends they’ve met over the years CJDA has been a key part of their summers and something we are certain they will never forget. Amazing place. Amazing staff. Cannot recommend it more.
Camp Jeanne D’Arc in the NY Adirondacks is the GREATEST girls camp ever!! It was founded for girls in 1922. I spent many summers there making friendships that have lasted 40 years and counting. My daughter will be in her fifth summer and loves it just as much! Counselors and campers come from US and abroad. The camp directors Randy and Sandy are warm and committed to making sure the girls treat each other with kindness and participate in activities to build confidence while having fun. Girls are able to be themselves at this camp in a way I have not seen or heard anywhere else! Randy provides excellent communication about camp information and updates on happenings at camp before, during and after camp. You can even see photos everyday of your camper. The grounds are beautiful and expansive on the shores of Lake Chateaugay. The cabins are modeled after Swiss chalets nestled in the trees around camp. Views of the mountains are stunning and the air is always fresh and never too hot or too cold. Girls can choose from swimming, SUP, sailing, canoeing, waterskiing, tubing, horseback riding, archery, BBs, arts and crafts, theme nights, team competitions, talent shows, and tons of 100-year old traditions. The strength of quality programming at this camp is the true hidden gem. Lots of different session lengths-starter sessions, 2 weeks, 3.5 weeks, 5 weeks, and 7 weeks. Tours and camp visits available. Call or email Randy! We love this camp!!
In my (13 yo) daughter’s words: “Camp Jeanne d’Arc changed my life. Between the never ending friendships, new skills, and important lessons, this is a magical place. Those three things might sound like something that a grill could take away from any camp, but don’t be mistaken. The second you step foot onto JDA’s oasis and breathe in the fresh, forest-infused air, you will see what I mean. This sleep away is alive with a special sort of energy that you will remember forever. Through Jeanne d’Arc, I have learned how to be a more faithful, confident, and courageous young woman, and it is awe-inspiring to see other girls grow in the same way. Camp Jeanne d’Arc will always hold a special place in my heart.
My daughter Callie has been going to this camp for 4 summers. She originally signs up for half summers but ends up staying for the whole summer because she’s having so much fun. Our family loves this camp so much! It is beautiful and full of outdoor adventure, friendships and new experiences our city girl wouldn’t get anywhere else. Sandy and Randy are amazing and a perfect team. CJDA is A++++++++++
It was my daughter’s first time at an away-from-home camp, and Camp Jeanne d’Arc made her experience truly unforgettable. I can’t thank them enough for their wonderful staff and fantastic program. Her favorite memories include the camp dances, making new friends, and gardening with Mrs. Sandy. We’ve already enrolled her for another summer at Camp Jeanne d’Arc, and I wish we had found this camp sooner. Thank you, Sandy and Randy, for creating such an amazing place!
