Northwoods

We are busy planning for the summer of 2012 and expect camp registration to open on the following dates:

February 17 - Skidmore College Employees
March 2 - Returning Campers
March 9 - New Campers

 

Watch this site for the online application to become available on March 9.

 If you are a Skidmore College Employee or returning camper, watch your e-mail for your advanced registration notice.

 NEW REGISTRATION THIS SUMMER!

Our new application makes it easier than ever to register and pay online.  Parents will receive immediate confirmation when they register their camper - no more waiting!  Registering for more than one child has been made easier too.  A $40 (nonrefundable) application fee for each camper and a $100 (nonrefundable) deposit, per camper, per session, is required at the time of registration.  Please refer to the Fees and Payments page for further details.


Camp Northwoods offers an exciting program of sports, cultural arts, nature study and relaxed play for children.


The program draws on the rich and varied resources of Skidmore College and the surrounding area.  The camp's home base is Flastaff's Pavillion on the Skidmore College campus, but campers frequent the Williamson Sports Center, Schick Art Gallery, Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery, and Zankel Music Center.  The daily enrichment activities led by the qualified staff are supplemented by weekly field trips to recreational and historical sites, and visits by special guests.


Children entering grades 1-6* will also enjoy activities that include arts and crafts, ceramics, games, hiking, and daily swim time.  Our goal is to provide a variety of fun activities that happily challenge the imagination, intellect, and body.  We hope you will join us this summer.


 

*Campers must be 6 years old as of June 25, 2012
