Located on the edge of the Adirondacks, Trefoil offers our only high and low ropes course and water trampoline on our private, serene lake! This intimate, outdoorsy setting provides adventure, new friends and lasting memories. Campers this summer can earn badges, learn more about the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, explore sustainability and homesteading, and interact with and care for a variety of farm animals and our extensive garden.

Our expert staff will lead activities like archery, swimming, canoeing and kayaking, outdoor cooking, arts and crafts, and so much more! We’ll provide meals, cozy cabins for sleeping, and all the camp fun you could ask for.

Some of our favorite traditions include opening and closing campfires, our wishboat ceremony, and Thanksgiving dinner every Thursday! We love introducing fun new activities each year, while continuing our longstanding traditions.

Campers typically spend the morning participating in activities with their unit. After lunch, we break for rest hour when campers can take a nap, write a letter home, or quietly hang out with their cabinmates. In the afternoon, campers get to choose which activities they participate in during Open Programming. After dinner, the whole camp gets together for an All Camp activity. After All Camp we begin to settle down for the night so we can do it all again the next day!

We have our own small, private lake called Snyder Lake! Since we have it all to ourselves it is perfect for swimming and boating for beginners and experts. The swimming area is divided into multiple sections. Campers will undergo a swimming assessment to determine their swimming ability, which will determine which sections they can go in. We also have a water trampoline and inflatable rockwall for extra fun in the water. We have canoes, rowboats, kayaks, funyaks, and corcls for campers to use.

Our Low Ropes Course is open to all ages. It has a series of ground elements to be used to help campers develop teamwork and communication skills. Our High Ropes Course has 11 elements, including a zip line! The elements are divided into areas based on difficulty. The Flying Squirrel element is open to all ages and abilities. The beginner and intermediate sections of the course and the zip line are for grades 4 and up. The advanced section is for grades 6 and up. We emphasize that our courses are “challenge by choice”. Campers are encouraged to set goals for themselves, and then challenge themselves to meet those goals. Whether their goal is to be the best cheerleader from the ground, to climb to the top of the ladder, or to conquer the whole element, we will cheer them on no matter what. The High Ropes Course is a great way to build courage, confidence, and character at camp!
-
Each week we will have a maximum of approximately 60 campers. This allows us to maintain the close-knit camp community that we love at Trefoil. If your camper knows someone from another age group at camp, they will have plenty of opportunities to see each other: at meals, All Camp, and during Open Programming.
