Camp Schodack / About Us

New Campers
New campers quickly feel at home at Schodack. It’s a special atmosphere. Here’s why:

1	Our warm, family environment attracts a particularly friendly, unspoiled type of camper. This promotes a wonderfully welcoming environment for new campers.
2	At New Camper Day in early June, first-time campers meet other new campers and can see their bunk prior to the start of camp.
3	First-time campers have a “Big Brother” or “Big Sister” who contacts them before camp and becomes another special friend throughout the summer.

4	Your child's cabin and bed placement are very important to us so we spend two months very carefully assigning every camper to a specific group, a specific cabin and a specific bed. Much time is spent discussing what you have told us about your child. We unpack all your child's clothes, label the cubbies, and make the bed so he/she will feel very reassured and comfortable on arrival at camp.
5	Campers phone home weekly so you are always “in the loop”.
6	We welcome parent “check in” phone calls anytime.
