Summertime in Upstate New York is truly special. The long winter months make you appreciate and be grateful for the warm weather when it finally arrives. This time of year also brings back fond memories from my childhood, like ice cream trucks, bike rides, and, of course, summer camp. For those lucky enough to attend, camp is an unforgettable, formative experience. Few summer camps in the area are as special and beautiful as YMCA Camp Chingachgook. Nestled on the shore of Lake George, Camp Chingachgook offers a safe and ideal environment for children to learn, grow and immerse themselves in nature.
