SAFETY
Camp Adventure is permitted by the Rensselaer County Dept. of Health and regulated under the New York State Sanitary Code, part 7-2. The program and facilities are inspected at least twice yearly by Rensselaer County Department of Health to ensure that the physical facilities are safe and that supervision is adequate.
We pride ourselves on maintaining a highly qualified camper to counselor ratio of 10:1 with our full-time professionals supplemented with specialists certified in their specific fields of expertise. The organization's in-house training program ensures that all staff is current on all requirements of county and state regulations.
Our staff is deeply concerned with each camper's progress and well-being. Each camper is urged to sample all the scheduled camp programs and encouraged to pursue those that he/she wishes to master.
CAMP ACTIVITIES
Our qualified staff will guide your child through his/her choice of educational and recreational activities in addition to some of the required group and individual sessions.
Hidden talents and imagination are brought out with arts and crafts classes; learning skills in identifying natural resources and hazards of the land along with locating specific landmarks from a map; in addition to learning how to avoid conflicts among family members and peers.
Team play is the rule when campers choose the sport to participate in. Physical fitness activities include, and are not limited to, gym games, walking field trips, soccer, and street hockey.
