Where Is My Cabin? A quick list of Adirondack’s camper cabins
Girls Line Deer Fox Lynx Caribou Cougar Northwind
Arrival Checklist We’re all excited to have you here at Adirondack, and we want to make sure that your stay here is as fun as possible! So please make sure that you take care of the following items as soon as you come into Camp! 1. Visit Aunt Jeanne and Nurse Meg in the Infirmary - this is very important! Remember to give them your medical form (if you have not already turned it in) and any medication you may have. 2. Bring your luggage to your cabin (and meet your counselors!) 3. Go to Junior Dock for a quick swim test. Please ask a staff member (they’re wearing white Adirondack shirts) if you have any questions!

How many campers coming to Adirondack during this summer’s first session are from other countries? You can ask anyone to help you—even a counselor! The first two campers with the right answer will win an extra candy at the store.
What goes on during a typical day here at Adirondack? To further you on your quest for knowledge, we’ve drawn up a sample daily schedule. Most days will run like this, but certain days are different! Be on the lookout for wacky and wild schedule changes on Saturdays and Sundays!
