Camporee 

Your girls club program is invited to attend the Camp Cedarbrook Camporee. We offer a weekend in June for your club members to learn outdoor skills and work on badges while leaders attend training seminars. It is also an enjoyable way to spend time with your girls. We look forward to seeing you at one of our Camporee weekends!

Each group is housed together with their leaders. Times throughout the day are provided for leaders to spend with their groups. Spiritual encouragement happens through Morning Watch and the evening program. A variety of activities are available for campers. Leadership Training Seminars to help equip leaders as they minister to children are offered while girls attend activity sessions led by our staff

Work weekends

Find out how you can be a part of the work that goes on to open and close camp and keep it in good repair.

Facilities

All the facilities at Camp Cedarbrook in the Adirondacks are designed for safety, quality, and maximum participation and with the outdoor experience in mind. Our 500+ acres of Adirondack forest land provide the perfect setting for hiking, orienteering, cooking out over an open fire, and sleeping under the stars or in an Adirondack lean-to. Our beautiful 45-acre Davignon Pond is home to our swimming, sailing, kayaking, and canoeing activities. Even our indoor facilities give the feeling of being outdoors.

Housing

Campers are housed in cabins and platform tents. This rustic housing protects campers from the elements, but doesn’t isolate them from the sights, sounds, and atmosphere of the forest. All camper groups have a resident counselor (staff) who live with the campers. Washhouses in each living area provide sinks, toilets, and hot showers.

The staff members not assigned to camper groups are housed in a variety of buildings, two to four staff members per room with a shared bath nearby.

Dining

The entire camp enjoys its meals together in our roomy dining hall, where large windows provide plenty of light and views of the forest. Meals are prepared in our well-equipped kitchen.

Activities

Separate buildings for crafts, nature study, and outdoor living skills enhance our activity program. Our multi-purpose activity building has a large fireplace and is big enough for the whole camp to gather for evening campfires worship services. Horsemanship classes are held at the stable and riding ring. Our spacious stable houses 8-9 horses each summer. We also have a riflery range, an archery field, several playing fields, a ropes course with both high and low elements, and separate areas on the lake for swimming and boating activities.
