While our Summer Camp program only runs from June to August, we host a number of events at Camp throughout the year - don’t miss out on these opportunities to visit camp during the “off-season”.  If you think the Adirondacks are beautiful during the summer, you will absolutely love them in the Fall and Winter!

SEE PICTURES OF SKI WEEK HERE!

Thank you to all of the campers and counselors who made this year’s ski week a success! A constant supply of fresh snow made for a wonderful Whiteface experience. Winter Mountaineers conquered Giant, Algonquin, Dial, and Nippletop, and made a valiant attempt at Street and Nye. Everyone gathered back at the Pok-O-Queen for hearty dinners and enjoyed games, movies, and tubing in the evenings.

For those who would like to join us this winter for Ski Week, here are some of the activities we offer:

• Skiing and Snowboarding at Whiteface Mountain, site of the 1980 Winter Olympics and greatest vertical east of the Rockies.   (Lessons can be provided and arrangements can be made for equipment rental.)
• Sledding, or “tubing” at our own toboggan run, equipped with lights and a rope tow.
• Cross-Country Skiing on our ski trails around Long Pond
• Winter camping and mountaineering - Experienced staff will lead the expeditions for interested campers.
• Games and activities on our snow-covered camp fields
• Evening meals, fires, cards, board games and videos in the cozy, heated Pok-O-Queen.

The Patch Sprint

This annual adventure race over the Pok-O Patch mountains also serves as a reunion of camp friends of all ages.  There are divisions for hard core racers, novice and intermediate runners, volunteers, children and trekkers who would like to walk the course.  All proceeds go to the Adirondack Scholarship Foundation, which raises funds for children in need of financial aid to attend camp.  Held in conjunction with the semi-annual alumni work weekend, the Patch Sprint also hosts a pre-race pasta supper, a race expo, merchandise, a post-race awards party and an auction.
