Brant Lake, NY
Baseball has been one of the most popular sports at camp since 1917. While the Senior Field is still in the same location as it initially was, it has been converted into the stadium it is today. There are now four different, age-appropriate baseball diamonds at Brant Lake Camp, all beautifully maintained.

It's completely normal, and plenty of campers (of all ages!) have something from home that makes bedtime feel a little cozier. Label everything — if it can be labeled, label it. This is the single best thing you can do to help us help him keep track of his stuff. Camp provides sheets and pillows, so no need to send these. One of our personal favorites is a collage-style poster with his favorite photos from home — his counselors will hang it up for him and it will make his bed feel like his.
Leaving home for the first time can bring up some jitters for campers, but often even more so for parents. While it's natural to feel nervous, we've found that projecting positivity and excitement goes a long way. Your son will take his cues from you. If you're excited about this new adventure, he will be too! Talk about the fun stuff. Camp is a huge, exciting milestone — chat about the activities he'll try, the friends he'll make, the counselors who will become his coolest big brothers/sisters, and all the new experiences ahead.
Brant Lake Camp is located on the east side of Brant Lake in the Adirondacks of New York state. With just over 200 yards of waterfront property, our sand beaches provide a great place to hang out and relax with friends.
There is no more encouraging, vibrant, and supportive audience in the world than the one you will find in our Junior Clubhouse on a show night. Whether it's a full age group show or just a Wednesday night talent show, the Brant Lake stage provides an opportunity to showcase your talent (or lack of talent) in front of all your camp friends. The spirit of BLC really lives in our Clubhouse, and the community never feels more whole and connected than when we all sing the Alma Mater, arm in arm, at the end of every show.
Jack first joined Brant Lake in 2023, traveling all the way from Scotland. He loves helping campers grow in confidence, build lifelong friendships, and thrive in all aspects of camp life — from competitive Green and Gray sports to silly theatre performances!
