Around Camp

the parts in between

Not just the houses

As much as camp is the three houses, it’s also everything connecting them — the path down through the trees, the creek that cuts across the property, and the little red shed that stores our beach gear for the winter. It looks different in every season, and somehow good in all of them. And all of it sits inside Adirondack Park, the six-million-acre expanse of forests, lakes, and mountains that’s the largest park in the contiguous United States.

The footbridge

The Lake House sits across the creek from the Lodge and the Cabin — this footbridge is what connects them. Just a short walk, in any weather.

Down to the beach

Watch the sky

Bald eagles patrol the shoreline, and this one flew right over the beach one October evening.

Under the stars

On a clear night, the sky over camp fills with stars. Both photos below were taken with iPhones.

Things to do on the property

Sometimes the best part of camp is staying put.
