Summer Camps in Upstate New York

Pok-O-MacCready Camps:
Family-owned since 1905, Pok-O-MacCready Camps provide traditional residential summer camps for boys and girls ages 6-16 in the picturesque setting of Upstate New York's Adronidack Mountains. We offer 2, 3 and 4-week camping options including day and overnight camps, as well as a full, 7-week camp stay. Camp Pok-O-Moonshine for Boys, and Camp MacCready for Girls offer a classic American summer camp experience that mixes exciting adventures and new opportunities with great friends in a picturesque natural setting.

At Pok-O-MacCready, we pride ourselves on the diversity of our program, campers, and staff. We are constantly striving to improve our facilities to make sure our campers get the most out of our excellent Sports, Horseback Riding, and Wilderness programs. Pok-O-MacCready is fortunate to have 300 acres on the shores of Long Pond over which to experience all that Camp has to offer.

International & Inclusive Atmosphere:
There is no “typical” Pok-O-MacCready camper. While we have a heavy representation of children from Northeast metropolitan areas, our campers come from all over the United States, and around the world (as far away as Asia and Africa). We have children from urban, suburban and rural backgrounds. No single religion or cultural belief is dominant among our campers.

Pok-O-MacCready Camps is fully-accredited by the American Camp Association, and welcomes the ACA once every three years for personnel, facility, safety and health inspection.
