Camp Description:
Camp Chingachgook, established in 1913, is one of the oldest children's summer camps in America and sits on the quiet east shore of Lake George in the Adirondack State Park. With 200 acres bordering thousands of acres of forever wild Adirondack forest preserve, Chingachgook offers access to over 50 miles of trails through camp and along the lake and mountain summits.A wide variety of waterfront activities takes place on Chingachgook's extensive shoreline with two 80-foot docks and a fleet of 70 assorted watercraft from canoes, windsurfers, and ski boats to 24-foot sailboats. Other recreational facilities include tennis and basketball courts, playing fields for soccer, softball, and other games. Other program facilities include an art studio, photography darkroom, rifelry and archery ranges, a 30- element high- and low-ropes course, and environmental center, a large camp meeting hall, a waterfront pavilion, and a newly renovated dining hall. Chingachgook's summer camping season is divided into three two-week sessions and three one-week sessions. The YMCA is dedicated to character development in our children, and the overall camp program teaches the Y's core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility.
