Camp Treetops

Since 1921, Camp Treetops gives children ages 8–14 an unplugged summer in the Adirondack Mountains near Lake Placid, NY.

Our 333-acre farm features organic gardens, a motorboat-free lake and trails—where kids embrace nature, imagination, and childhood.

Growing Evergreen began with listening.

As part of our strategic plan, we’re taking a close look at three areas central to the North Country School & Camp Treetops experience: outdoor experiences, environmental learning, and visual arts.

By listening to educators, counselors, students, campers, and alumni, we’re exploring how to strengthen these programs and deepen the connections between adventure, creativity, and our relationship with the natural world.

The goal? To honor what makes this place special while creating even more opportunities for children to explore, create, wonder, and grow.

Woods House has always been more than a building—it’s been a home.
For generations, Woods has been a place to live, learn, grow, and gather. Now, through Growing Evergreen, it’s entering a new chapter.

This spring, Woods was moved 200 feet to make room for expanded living space, new faculty housing, and a welcoming outdoor gathering area. Its former site will become a unified center for Hike House, Environmental Learning, and Visual Arts, creating new opportunities for exploration, creativity, and connection to the land.

As alum María Viniegra said, “Woods saw me grow up.” Now, we’re helping Woods grow into what comes next.

Friends' Weekend is here! We can’t wait to welcome friends from near and far back to campus.

We're ready for a weekend of reconnecting, reminiscing, pitching in, playing, and celebrating the community that brings us together. From bonfires and barn chores to a musical performance by Big Slyde and plenty of good food, there’s a lot to look forward to over the next few days.

Welcome home, friends! We’re so glad you’re here. 🩷

The final week at Camp Treetops is one of joyful celebration for all we’ve accomplished, experienced, and shared this season.

From challenging Idiot Trips and a final 46er summit to Farm Fest, the Bean Carnival, Harvest Banquets, square dances, and one last round of horseback riding, swimming, sailing, and paddling, the week was full of adventure, tradition, and time together.

As another summer comes to a close, we’re filled with gratitude for the growth we’ve witnessed: campers becoming more independent, confident, capable, and connected to the Treetops community. They leave with new skills, lasting friendships, and memories they will carry with them wherever they go.

Thank you for sharing your children with us for another unforgettable summer. Until next year, Treetops!

Week six at Camp Treetops was filled with moments that reflect just how much our campers have grown over the course of the summer—from the riding skills they've honed with their favorite horse to seeing a challenging five-day trip through to the end. One camper even became an Adirondack 46er. These accomplishments are the result of weeks of curiosity, perseverance, and confidence-building.

As we head into our final week together, campers will put the finishing touches on their projects, savor the moments with their friends, and celebrate an incredible summer together.

Week five at Camp Treetops has been full of challenge, celebration, and community.

After the joy of Visitors' Weekend, our campers settled back into the rhythms and routines of Camp. This week brought unforgettable performances, important traditions like chicken and garlic harvest, adventurous day-and-overnight trips across the Adirondacks, creative projects, and Backwards Day festivities.

Whether summoning the spirit of Huxley the llama in the Junior Camp play, paddling and hiking deep into the wilderness, or discovering they were capable of more than they imagined, campers continue to embrace every opportunity to learn, grow, and support one another.

As summer begins to hint at autumn, we're savoring every moment of these final weeks together. Read Week 5 of the Camp Journal at: https://tr.ee/VQvR65vzjW

The best part of camp is watching children discover they're capable of more than they ever imagined.

"I hiked a mountain!" "I rode a horse!" "I jumped Balanced Rocks!" "I tried weaving!" "I made new friends!"

If you're considering Camp Treetops for your child, the best way to discover if it's the right fit is to visit while camp is in session.

Join Camp Director Hannah Edwards for a guided tour, see our unplugged community in action, and experience the everyday adventures, friendships, and joy that make a Treetops summer unforgettable.
