Camp Scully

Camp Scully Wynantskill, NY September 3, 2012 campscully.squarespace.com

Camp Scully was the first stop on the trip, not knowing what to expect Colin, the camp director was instantly warm, reassuring and welcoming. It is obvious he is the life blood of his camp. Camp Scully is on a little lake near Albany NY. The camp is surrounded by cottages but there is plenty of forest and places to explore. Camp Scully was founded on fun and making memories, from yelling the Pledge of Allegiance in the morning to dressing up in the silliest of costumes for the weeks dance. Counselors are invested in their campers and travel with them through all the activities during the day. Camp Scully never turns any camper away for financial reasons and Colin and his staff have learned to do an incredible amount with limited resources. For example the simple but incredibly effective destination spots in the woods like the legendary sacred rock and other recently proclaimed historical landmarks.

Visiting Camps Coast to Coast

Rocky Mountain Ridge

Hello! We are Laura Kriegel and Jack Schott and we are currently traveling across the country on an epic road trip to visit as many camps as possible. Our goal is to learn from and give back to the camp community through volunteering. We have now visited 22 camps and 22 states. We are having so much fun and meeting some incredible people. The camps we have stayed at have amazing directors with inspirational philosophies on directing and the camp industry. We have had the pleasure of working family weekends, a united way day of caring, weeding and preparing gardens for winter, helping out in maintenance yards, and painting murals. Our trip so far has been so fun and educational that we want to share it with other people in the camp world. We have been accepted to speak this February in the ACA National conference in Dallas!! We are enthusiastic about camp and being recent graduates have the time to explore the amazing things available in the camping industry.
