Our
mission is to provide a quality outdoor traditional camp experience for
foster children residing in Westchester County. Emphasis is placed
on environmental awareness and sustainable living in a cooperative
setting.
Our
campus is the 1,081 acre Mountain Lakes Park in North Salem, which is
located in the northeast corner of Westchester County. The park boasts
five lakes and a spectacular overlook which makes a breathtaking hiking
destinations.
Activities include team-building and leadership, hiking and nature
study, swimming, boating/canoeing, arts and crafts, sports and
games and
evening campfire programs.
Campers
and staff sleep in newly constructed 27 foot diameter yurts, a kind of
sophisticated tent cabin, with windows and a door. Google the word yurt
to get an idea of what these structures are like.
There
is a newly constructed bathhouse, with showers and a laundry facility.
