Camp Chateaugay

Tucked away on the shores of a pristine Adirondack lake, Camp Chateaugay has been a summer “home away from home” for campers ages 7-17 since 1946. We’re a co-ed, traditional sleepaway camp focused on building independence, self-confidence, and deep friendships as much as world-class instruction in land sports, water sports, and the arts, all while having fun. With 250+ acres, 25+ cabins, and over 60 electives, there’s always something new to try. Campers unplug and connect with nature, themselves, and each other in a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment, guided by dedicated staff. Campers join us from near and far. Many travel via chaperoned transportation from New York City, Los Angeles, Fort Lauderdale, Washington, D.C., and Montreal, while others come from Israel, France, Italy, the UK, Brazil, and Spain. Our experienced counselors and area directors bring diverse backgrounds, many from educational institutions in the U.S. and abroad.
