Labor Day/Family Camping Weekend
(registration form at bottom of page)
Nestled in the heart of the Hudson Valley, Surprise Lake Camp is the perfect setting for the final hurrah of the summer. It is a beautiful place to spend Labor Day Weekend at an affordable price, and only 60 miles from New York City.
There are activities for children only, for adults only, and for the entire family. The program offers the opportunity to enjoy a wide range of traditional camp activities including swimming, boating, climbing tower, high ropes, crafts, sports, tennis, hiking, and much more. Highlights include a carnival, family tie-dying, gameshows, our ever popular Beach BBQ, as well as our “sing around the campfire” night, complete with roasting marshmallows.
Have your family join our family and make this the Labor Day you’ll always remember! This year promises to be better than ever, and private housing is now being allocated on a “first come, first served” basis, so hurry!
