Residential summer camp for girls ages 8 to 14 on 400 acres on the northern rim of the Catskill Mountains in East Windham, run by the nonprofit Girls Quest for girls from underserved families in New York City and Greene County. Daily activities include swimming, boating, drama, dance, music, basketball, volleyball, soccer, environmental education, art, hiking, cookouts, camping, games, yoga and creative writing, plus a hike along the camp's nature trail up Mount Zoar. Sleeping cabins hold up to 10 girls with 3 staff, the health centre is staffed by registered nurses, EMTs or paramedics, and campers' phones are held for the session to keep the setting technology-free. Families whose children qualify for free or reduced school lunches pay only the $25 registration fee, with proof of income required, and campers from New York City are bussed to camp.

★★★★★Angelica DuhartWow so excited something told me to google camp oh neh tah. I’m so excited to see this wonderful camp is still open. I spent many summers at this camp as a child. From camper to teen leader (I think I was the reason for the teen leadership program lolz) from polar bear swimming, archery, high ropes course, chores, farming and acting sick to stay at the nurse lounge just to use the air conditioner, flushable toilet and personal shower. I may have wanted to do other things with my summers at times but mom knew best. as an adult I appreciate every 2 week summer I spent there. Its core memories, learned skills, values and hobbies (high ropes and hiking) that I still carry today! Many blessings! It’s been well over 20 years for me. The time when the camp directors were sisters. One left to care for her family and the other sister took over. That was my last year there.
★★★★★Deborah AngelinoKOLA I had the BEST TIME OF MY LIFE the summers I shared at camp Oh Neh Tah. I laughed so hard , and made life long friends that I still keep in touch with. I had never been to camp and showed up there the summer of 1977 and kept coming each summer. We'd meet at the Gramercy Hotel in NYC each Dec. 28 th for Xmas get togeather. And Dec. 28 th is also my birthday. We counselors became family. I truly can't imagine not having them in my life. I TILL THIS DAY STILL SING THE CAMO SONGS. And woyld love to return this summer . id be the first one job to lead the singing before and after lunch. Yes Camp Oh-Neh-tah is a blessing to the campers we had a blast gathering around the totem pole each cabin mine was Chip Cherokee mine and Melanie as we would lead our girls to the ceremony with the huge bonfire and ring our tokens as a love and Devotion to the almighty Oneida Nation. And that would be fire word for the huge campfire we had
