Camp Scully

Camp Scully is a co-ed, day and overnight summer camp for children and teens aged 5 to 16. It is located on Snyder’s Lake in North Greenbush approximately 10 miles from Albany, New York. Camp Scully is comprised of 22 acres of land which offer playing fields, hiking trails, beach and swimming areas, archery ranges, a challenge course, a craft castle, a children's cooking area and the whole of Snyder’s Lake for boating. Since its founding in 1920, Camp Scully has been based on the values of service, caring, understanding, love, loyalty, and youthfulness. These core values continue to be embraced at Camp Scully today. Through community, new adventures, and fun and engaging program participation, we strive to help our campers develop resilience, responsibility, cooperative skills, confidence, and personal independence. Throughout camp’s history, the philosophy, values, and traditions have remained constant. The strength of Camp Scully is its nurturing environment in a child centered world where each camper learns and grows under the guidance of a well-trained and caring staff. Camp Scully is proud to be accredited by the American Camp Association. This accreditation is only awarded to camps that continually demonstrate adherence to strict standards of operation and programing.

For children aged 7 to 12 we offer a weekly overnight camp. Campers spend their time primarily with their own age and gender groups with targeted programming. Skill clinics provide individual choice; carnivals, beach parties and campfires bring the whole camp together. Archery, ropes course, kayaking and swimming are just a few of the activities offered. Financial Assistance is available for low-income families. Additionally, there is a special teens-only camp for 13 and 14 year olds. For campers, aged 5 to 11 we offer a Monday to Friday day camp. For campers aged 12 to 13 there is Trailblazer Camp and for 14 and 15 year olds there’s Legendary Leaders. Lunch is provided for all 3 camps and campers are supervised with a minimum 1:6 ratio and participate in a wide variety of themed programs including swim lessons, canoe trips and archery. Day Camp also provides a great transition to overnight camping.
