At 16, Rangers are the oldest campers of our boys and girls camp. Cognizant of their final, precious “summer of childhood," these remarkable, accomplished young men and woman anchor the overnight camp with a humble power. Their uniform is different from the rest of the campers and they receive special privileges as well as responsibilities. They have become the veterans of our summer camp for kids.

The camp emphasizes the values of positive mindset and cooperation: something that does not come so easily with teens and has benefited Axel. Parent of Axel P, Ranger

The Adirondack Ranger program is a tailored leadership program. Rangers choose personal levels of activity involvement with opportunities for advanced skills development. They learn how to coach, motivate and help to teach their favorite activities. They help with meals and Special Days and create and participate in a special group project of their choosing with the opportunity to apply their project toward the benefit of the entire kids camp community. These summer camp teens are eligible to make any sorties into the wilderness that they choose, including, always, at least, one dynamite, super-challenging, several day grunge and exhilaration wilderness adventure exclusively open only to Rangers.

The Ranger lights out is 9:30.
