Camp Overview

Kamp Kiwanis offers a unique kamp experience for kampers ages 8-14 to explore the world through environmental and cultural activities. Kiwanis Clubs throughout the state of New York financially sponsor kampers to attend Kamp for a once in a lifetime experience. The program at Kamp is designed to mainstream all kampers including up to 20 each session with special needs.  Kampers and staff work together to build self-esteem and cooperative peer relationships.

Kamp Kiwanis offers a special place for self-discovery, laughter, fun and personal growth. Through small group interactions, kampers have the opportunity to learn more about themselves and others as well as increase their self-confidence. By offering positive role models, experiences that build self-esteem, and challenging activities, we foster kampers’  development of new skills and respect for the community on the part of each kamper.

Kamp obtains a permit to operate from the New York State Department of Health through the Oneida County Health Department. The Kamp is required to be inspected twice yearly by the Health Department. Kamp is accredited by the American Camp Association, a nationally recognized organization. We voluntarily submit to this independent appraisal by camp experts and are proud to have earned this distinction. Kamp is located on 102 acres of open and wooded land in the rolling, western foothills of the Adirondack Mountains. There is an Administration building with a connecting Health Center, a Dining Hall and Kitchen, sleeping cabins with electricity, two bath houses, athletic fields, sports courts, a swimming pool, a camping area, nature trails, a newly built library, a performing arts building with a stage, an arts and crafts building and a pond for fishing, canoeing, and paddle boating. The Kamp is wheelchair accessible.  The closest “large” town is Rome, New York and is approximately 6 miles away. Some Kamp activities include the following:
