Our Summer Camp is in the perfect location in the Adirondack Park
Pristine Wilderness
Come to Summer Camp at Woodcraft and experience untouched wilderness right outside your cabin doors -- No crossing any roads or competing for space on crowded lake! Surrounded by pristine forests and total peace, Woodcrafters enjoy direct access to two private, sparkling camp lakes, where they can swim, boat and explore to their heart's content. The Moose River is a walk through the camp's woods away and offers incredible views for its paddlers with only the rush of water and beavers and otters to keep them company. With 500 miles of trails bordering our 250 acre property, campers can enjoy endless hiking and biking directly from Woodcraft.
Summer Camp Cabin Life
Woodcraft’s buildings are rustic Adirondack style cabins with a wooden exterior and red tin roofs. The camp Dining Hall and Long House have full log ceilings with post and beam construction and floor to ceiling stone fireplaces. Our youngest campers (ages 6-9) live in one larger cabin with bathrooms. As campers grow older, they move to divisions with individual cabins for 4-6 campers and one counselor, with shared bathhouses next door. Wooded paths connect our buildings and program areas and our campers truly enjoy feeling completely at home at their very own summer camp.
Close to Resources
Although our location is private and feels remote, Adirondack Woodcraft Summer Camp is fortunate to be a 10-15 minute drive away from the quaint and bustling towns of Old Forge and Inlet in Upstate New York. This beautiful area is knows for the Fulton Chain of Lakes which is part of the 740 mile Northern Forest Canoe Trail. Local favorite hikes include Bald Mountain (Rondaxe Fire Tower), Black Bear Mountain, and Rocky Mountain which together make up the Fulton Chain Trifecta. Our Woodcrafters adventure further into the park for their longer trips with greater challenges, but it sure is nice to be able to count on these fun and gorgeous favorites right in our backyard.
The Adirondack Park
Adirondack Woodcraft Summer Camp is located in the western corner of the Adirondack Park. The park itself is the largest protected area in the contiguous United States, covering six million acres. Yellowstone National Park could fit inside the Adirondack Park almost three times! It's simply an incredible gift to be located inside of such a national treasure and protected natural resource. Woodcrafters discover their deep connection to nature every time they venture out on trips with their counselors and friends. The lessons they learn on the trail and on the water run deep and build confidence, resilience and the desire to care for the environment for years to come.
