Forrestel Farm Riding & Sports Camp
Coed and Girls' Camp with Residential and Day Camp Sessions
Forrestel Riding & Sport Camp is a fully accredited ACA camp, established in 1980. We offer one, two and four week co-educational sessions ages 7-16 some co-ed and some just for girls. Our historic 800- acre working farm is located 40 miles west of Rochester, NY. There are two outstanding programs: equestrian and outdoor adventure & sports. Forrestel Farm Riding & Sports Camp provides children with a safe and nurturing environment where they are inspired to succeed. Our programs are designed to help campers develop confidence and explore new opportunities. We limit our enrollment which enables us to have more one on one time with each child.
Whether choosing to ride 2 to 4 hours daily or participate in teambuilding, high adventure and sports activities, campers at Forrestel always have a blast!!
Birchmont - A Pierce Camp
Residential coed summer camp
For the past half-century, three generations of Pierce's have built a sterling reputation for Birchmont as an exemplary traditional camp that puts as much emphasis on individual growth as it does on fun.
At Birchmont, we emphasize tennis and waterfront activities. We have always felt that long after the traditional "team sports" fade into a high school memory, tennis and water sports do endure. Activities include: Arts & Crafts, Woodworking, Nature Studies, Riflery, Archery, Golf, Aerobics/Dance, Gymnastics, Tennis, Ropes Course, Sports, Swimming, Sailing, Skiing, Canoeing, and much more.
