Adirondack Camp would like to invite you to join us for our annual winter reunion in New York City. This year we will be honoring Carolina Macrini for her many years of dedicated service to Adirondack Camp. The reunion wil be held on Saturday March 6th, 2010 from 12-3 p.m. at NYU (University Hall Commons) located at 110 East 14th St. New York, NY 10003. Please RSVP to rikki@adirondackcamp.com. Hope to see you there!

PUTNAM STATION, NY - In order to be recognized as an “Adirondack 46er”, a hiker must successfully climb all 46 of the rugged Adirondack High Peaks. Towering above 4,000 feet in elevation and presenting varying degrees of difficulty, earning the “46er” moniker presents a significant challenge by any standard.

It’s hard to tell that from talking to 16-year old campers Fedor Motovilov from Moscow, Russia and Max Lopez from Montclair, NJ. Both teens just completed climbing the last of the 46 Adirondack High Peaks - their final climb took place at Mt. Colden (elevation 4,714 feet) on August 12, 2009.

Fedor is the godson of Adirondack Camp owner Alex Levitch and has spent nearly every summer at Adirondack Camp. He began climbing the High Peaks in 2004 and continued climbing every summer, completing the bulk of them within the last 2 or 3 seasons, including 18 peaks this summer alone. Fedor expressed how much he loves the scenic Adirondack Mountain views from many of the peaks he climbed. Fedor's favorite activity at Adirondack Camp is actually wind surfing - he also enjoys kayaking and all of the many activities available at camp

Memorial Day Work Weekend was a grand success this spring as more than forty members of the extended Adirondack family turned up to help restore the peninsula to its customary pristine condition. Campers, staff, and parents (both old and new to camp) enjoyed a weekend full of s’mores, laughter, memories, and, of course, the ever-delectable Macrini cuisine. Interspersed with all the general merriment, our noble volunteers also managed to send thirty dump truck loads of leaves and debris up the hill in an effort Tim proclaimed to be the best he’s seen in 35 years of Memorial Day Weekends. The weekend also served as the unveiling of a brand new Wolf Den cabin (complete with a small porch) as well as a revamped septic system and refurbished kitchen. Camp is looking better than ever as the 2008 season rapidly approaches.

A big HOW and thank you to all who helped out over Memorial Day.

Memorial Day Weekend provides an opportunity to get out of the city and come help us get camp ready for our 105th season!

We provide the room and board, you provide the elbow grease! We’ll have crews busy with things like raking leaves, planting flowers, gathering deadfall, and moving boats from Friday evening, May 23rd through Monday afternoon, May 26th. It’s a great chance to meet new folks, rub elbows with the staff and help whip Camp into shape. We’d love to see you.

Please call the camp office at 1-518-547-8261 and let us know if you can make it.

By now, you should have received our spring Tom Tom in the mail with news from around camp and from our campers, staff, and alumni. You can now access the Tom Tom online. Just head over to the online TomTom archive and download the Spring, 2008 Tom Tom in PDF format.

What's new? Well you'll have to read the Tom Tom for the details but Wolf Den has gotten a face lift, the trips schedule has been released and the 5 quests announced, and Jack Basinet lost his first tooth!

If you didn't receive a Tom Tom in the mail, we may not have your current address and contact information. Please update us with your current info by submitting our online contact form here.

Our Winter Reunion will be held on Saturday, February 16th, 2008 at the NYU University Hall Commons again.
