Camp Chateaugay
Residential coed summer camp Merrill, New York

Enjoy memories for a lifetime on picturesque Chateaugay Lake in the Adirondack Mountains. A warm, nurturing family atmosphere allows the campers to feel comfortable while exploring the land sports, waterfront, arts, and tripping programs. What makes Chateaugay unique is our 2.5:1 staff ratio that offers each child the individual attention and caring environment with the finest instruction. We attract a very wide geographic mix of kids, so our enrollment is low key, which makes it so easy to build new friendships. Doctor and nurses live on site.

Activities include: Tennis, soccer, basketball, waterskiing, sailing, theater, arts and crafts, ceramic, and much more.
