Our family has had a long association with a summer sleep-away camp in the Adirondacks. The North Country Camps, (Camp Lincoln for boys and Camp Whippoorwill for girls) is a summer long residential camp located on the idyllic shores of Lake Augur in Keeseville, NY. The camps focus on building cohesive communities, personal responsibility, self-reliance and skill building in a non-competitive environment. Lots of opportunities to learn life long skills in areas like canoeing, sailing, windsurfing, swimming, horseback riding, woodworking, crafting, dance, theater, tennis, soccer, baseball and archery. The camps also offer extensive excursions backpacking, canoeing, and climbing in the Adirondack wilderness. Get more information from their website at northcountrycamps.com.

It was a wonderful experience for us as kids, and now our children are enjoying their own camp adventures. If you are interested in learning more about this dynamic summer opportunity for your children, please join us for an open house:
