Overnight Summer Camps

Overnight summer camps are the best ways for parents to give their child to chance to enjoy freedom and experience the independence of leaving home for a few days, and at the same time, since the overnight summer camps are always supervised, parents can gain the assurance that their children will be in good hands. Pok O Mac's overnight summer camps are located on a lake campsite in New York's Adirondack Mountains, and here children who are attending the overnight summer camps are not only able to enjoy the fun of camp life, but during their time at camp, they can pick any of the thirty activities which are offered such as rockwall climbing, hiking, swimming, boating and fishing and in addition, the overnight summer camps also give campers the chance to explore their acting and creative talents by way of drawing and painting classes, and the moonshiners, and here, each camper can take to the stage, either dancing, singing or acting. The Pok O Mac camp has enjoyed a long and very interesting history, which goes back to the year 1905, when the Camp Pok O Moonshine was first opened. Initially, the camp was only for boys and the camp was providing educational and recreational activities. Although the Pok O Mac summer camp has changed a lot since the every early camp days of Pok O Moonshine, the philosophies and values have not and the staff and counselors of Pok O Mac's overnight summer camps continue to give each camper enthusiastic guidance and leadership.

The overnight summer camps are the ideal choice for children who are between the ages of 6 and 16 and campers who have been part of the Pok O Mac overnight summer camps in the past have found that more than being encouraged to take part in the thirty or more fun-filled activities, the camps have allowed them to form friendships, and the overnight summer camps also gave them the chance to escape the hustle and stress of daily life and enjoy the carefree camp life. The Pok O Mac overnight summer camps are diverse and we are continually looking at ways of improving our facilities, which has allowed us to remain at the top of the overnight summer camps in our region. When it comes to sporting facilities, we have tennis courts, basketball courts, a full sized soccer field, volleyball courts and archery and shooting ranges, which are located on the outskirts of the camp for safety reasons.

We understand that parents may be anxious to send their children to overnight summer camps and this is why we have posted the frequently asked questions, which give parents more information about the overnight summer camps, such as the camper vs. staff ratio and rules that are in place throughout the camp. We believe that camps are a lot more than just about having a good time, and we continually give children guidance and teach them about their community, and develop a caring and respectful attitude in each camper. We have three full time nurses on staff that can tend to any health matters or emergencies, which have offered many anxious parents the peace of mind that their children are in good hands.
