§ Field Notes
About Brant Lake Camp.
Brant Lake Camp, established in 1916, is one of the country's oldest single-family owned summer camps, offering over a century of tradition. Located in the Adirondack Mountains, 3.5 hours from New York City, it caters to boys aged 7 to 15 with a thoughtful approach to their development.
The camp employs a Mini-Camp System to ensure a small-camp feel with age-appropriate programs, divided into Junior Camp (ages 7-11), Intermediate Camp (ages 12-13), and Senior Camp (ages 14-16). This system allows staff to understand each child's personality, strengths, and needs as they grow.
Brant Lake Camp emphasizes "Sports Done Right," providing quality instruction in individual and team sports, water sports, and various traditional camp activities. The camp also offers resources and support specifically for first-time campers and their families, aiming to ensure a positive experience.
