At Oswegatchie, we believe that every summer should be unforgettable.

So ask yourself: Have you ever ridden a 350' zipline through an Adirondack forest? How about kayaked or canoed on three pristine ponds? Have you ever ridden a horse on Adirondack Trails? Mountain biked down rugged paths? Have you made friends from all over New York and the United States?

At Oswegatchie Camp, we offer all of these opportunities and more. Oswegatchie Camp is a perfect place to spend a week of your summer. Our summer camping program will provide you with memorable and extraordinary experiences. Our mission is to provide our campers with fun and rewarding experiences in leadership development, environmental education, and outdoor recreation.

There are a few basic needs that we all must meet in order to survive. If you had to spend a night in the wilderness could you build a campfire? How about a durable sleeping shelter? This hands-on workshop will test your skills and even create some competitive spirit as you and a partner try to build the best shelter and first fire using all natural materials.
