Camp Chateaugay

Once a week, campers sit down with their unit leaders or counselors and fill out a ‘pick sheet’ in which they rank their top choices from all of our activities. Anywhere from 3 – 5 activities a day are then assigned to the campers by our highly skilled activity programmers. The programmers take into consideration the campers rankings, age, and skill level prior to assigning the activities.

We are a technology free camp for campers. Campers can use their smartphones or tablets en route to camp, but when they arrive, all electronics are collected and safely stored for the summer. Campers are allowed to use MP3 player for music as long as it does not allow wifi or video (we highly recommend the “CampFire player” available at www.campfireplayer.com), as well as kindle or other book readers.

Although we are an unplugged camp we do have an app that allows parents to email their child as many times as they like. Once a day all emails, letters, mail will be delivered to each child after their lunch break. Each camper will then be able to reply once per day. We also set up one phone call per child per session to their parents.
