Camp Taconic

★★★★★Orla Scott

Camp Taconic has been the most fun 7 weeks ever! Everyday is different and the energy here is unreal. The campers are amazing and bring so much joy, the counsellors feel like friends you’ve known forever, and the directors make sure everyone feels welcome and looked after from day one. Being part of the campers’ summer has been awesome and such a rewarding experience. Taconic has something for everyone. I’ve met people from all over the world, and made memories I’ll never forget. Taconic really is like one big family, and the best place to spend a summer!

Camp Taconic is truly an amazing place that feels just like home. From the moment you arrive, you're welcomed with open arms and surrounded by people who quickly become your second family. The range of activities is incredible whether you're into baseball, waterfront fun like swimming and boating, or arts and crafts, there's something for everyone to enjoy. The days are packed with excitement, creativity, and laughter. The directors are so kind and welcoming, and they go above and beyond to make sure every camper feels included and cared for. I can’t imagine a better place to spend the summer!

Attending Taconic as a camper and then later working as a counselor was one of the most impactful experiences of my life. It wasn’t just about the fun (though there was plenty of that!) — it was about the friendships, the independence, and the life lessons that have stayed with me ever since. Some of my closest, lifelong friends are people I met at camp. There’s something about spending summer days together — laughing through late-night talks, swimming, sharing meals, and learning side by side — that forges incredibly strong bonds. These friendships weren’t just for the summer; they’ve lasted well into adulthood. Camp also gave me a real sense of independence. Being away from home, making my own decisions, solving problems, and taking care of myself in a new environment helped me grow in ways I never could have imagined at the time. I didn’t realize it then, but those small daily responsibilities were shaping me into someone more confident and capable. Most importantly, camp taught me invaluable life skills — resilience, teamwork, leadership, empathy, and communication. Whether it was stepping out of my comfort zone to try something new, helping a friend through homesickness, or learning how to work as part of a group, every experience added to who I am today. Camp Taconic truly laid the groundwork for future success in my life. I’m so thankful for the memories, the lessons, and the community I found there.

I loved my experience with Camp Taconic for the last two years. They helped make the process easy each year and allowed me to have the summers of my life. I found a family in the friends I made at camp and I truly feel changed by my experiences as friends made are friends for life. Though the hard times were hard, the good made it all the worth. I cannot wait to have my 3rd time returner year in 2025 and make it the best summer yet. Camp Taconic really became my home away from home in Scotland.

The camp is terrific. A very well oiled machine. Directors are hands on and interact with all campers and staff. Sports and other activities are top notch . The camp is constantly renovating and upgrading the facility. You cant ask for a better summer camp !!. I have seen personal growth and confidence in my daughter over the years she spent at Taconic. This is truly her second home with friendships that will last a lifetime .
