Brant Lake Camp is an incredible place! Kids learn about each other and themselves in an empathetic, caring, and character-building environment! And above all else, have a wonderful and fun-filled summer surrounded by like-minded kids.

I was a counselor at BLC for four years in the 60s. My daughter, hearing all her life that BLC was a magical place, had her first of 13 summers there as a college student. One of the beauties of BLC, as a camper or a counselor, is that you re always a part of the BLC family. But for these two co...

My husband and I have sent our son to Brant Lake Camp for the past 7 summers. It is such a special place.. Beyond the exceptional sports programs, Brant Lake fostered his independence.

An amazing place to send your child/children for the summer run by a Family that cares about their campers above all else! The camp has a foundation in its rich 100+ year tradition but grows fluidly to maintain a current grasp on what children need to grow and be successful!
