Camp Chateaugay

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 focused on building independence, self-confidence, and deep friendships just as much as world-class training in a variety of land sports, water sports, and arts — all while having fun and creating lifelong memories. With over 250 acres of land, 25+ cabins, and more than 60 electives to choose from, there is always something new to try at Camp Chateaugay. Campers have the chance to unplug from technology and connect with nature, themselves, and others, while enjoying a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment. Our dedicated staff ensures each 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 chaperoned transportation, while others join us from international locations such as Israel, France, Italy, the UK, Brazil, and Spain. Our experienced counselors and area directors come from diverse backgrounds, with many joining us from educational institutions both in the U.S. and abroad.
