Camp Overview

Camp Reece is a sleep-away camp for children with special needs, ages 8 through 17, located in the beautiful Adirondack Park, which provides an ideal setting for our campers in Johnsburg NY. At Camp Reece, we offer a wide range of activities, each specifically designed to meaningfully engage campers while teaching skills, building confidence, improving self-esteem, encouraging social-emotional growth and of course, having fun! Camp Reece’s skilled and caring staff members differentiate instruction and modify activities whenever needed to ensure campers of all levels, abilities and ages can participate fully and successfully. We acknowledge every accomplishment and never miss the opportunity to provide positive feedback and recognition. Campers learn about themselves and explore the world around them through hands-on activities, such as organic gardening; art classes that include ceramics, woodshop, and arts & crafts; and a sports program that includes tennis, soccer, volleyball, basketball and water sports. Our weekly, full-day adventure trips in the heart of the Adirondack Park include whitewater rafting, high ropes adventure courses, biking, trips to theme parks and other exciting area attractions. At Camp Reece, children explore possibilities and stretch the boundaries of what can be achieved, while giving each camper a lifetime of memories of fun with friends that they will carry with them long after summer's end.
