Our boys are grouped into four divisions based on grade and age. The Cubs, usually boys entering 6th grade, are the youngest. As a group, they compete against each other, hike in small groups together, and are asked to meet certain standards to achieve their Camp award. The Plebes, Juniors and Seniors, rising 7th, 8th and 9th graders respectively, do the same. There is great pride, as well as longstanding traditions in each of Camp’s divisions.

Friendships, first begun on the waterfront, in athletic competition or on hikes to the Adirondack High Peaks, are not soon forgotten.
