New Families

Welcome

Welcome to Camps Baco and Che-Na-Wah. We are two separate full season camps, and we’ve been family run and operated with love and care for nine decades. We believe that camp at its best is when your child has magical moments that emerge from the backdrop that we supply.

We provide the unspoiled setting, expert instruction, and careful supervision, the safety and structure for campers. We challenge, teach, and cheer them on. Through our wonderful culture, children grow as they bond on the fields, in the lake and in the bunks. These are the values on which the camps were founded and they exist to this day.

Where times have changed, Camps Baco and Che-Na-Wah – and what kids get out of camp – remains constant: children play all day, learn new skills, challenge themselves, make lots of new friends, and most importantly, HAVE FUN!

We’d love to have you visit camp during the summer to see us in action. Please call us to make an appointment or email us: (518) 251-2919 (Baco); info@campbaco.com. For Che-Na-Wah (518)251-3129; info@campchenawah.com.

Love, Barbara and Bob Wortman
