Other Off-Site Trips
Each family group is given the opportunity to choose which site in Allegany State Park that they would like to visit during their session.
- Allegany State Park Nature Museum
- Thunder Rocks
- Bridal Falls
- Stone Tower

For Teens:
Teen campers are given an opportunity to demonstrate their maturity in activities that are just for them. These teen activities give younger campers something special to look forward to and are often a true highlight of each camper's experience with the program.
- Horseback Riding
- Hiking a portion of the North Country Trail
- Tent-Camping Overnight on the North Country Trail
Special Programs and Guests:
The following is a list of programs that we were able to bring into the camp last summer. While many of these people have graciously indicated interest in returning next summer (and we would love it if they did), we are always looking for new, fun, interesting, exciting, and educational programs to offer to the campers.
- Folk Singer, Nan Hoffman
- Motorcycle Enthusiast, Dennis Jones and Friends
- Magician, Russ Alan
- Allegany State Park Naturalists
