Adirondack Woodcraft Camps is a traditional boys and girls outdoor camp. Campers enjoy a wide range of activities such as canoeing on the camps two private lakes, climbing on our very own climbing wall, mountain biking on the nearby trail system, arts and crafts, archery, riflrey, nature, initiate games, and many others.
Since 1925, Adirondack Woodcraft Camps has called the Adirondacks home. Woodcraft was founded and directed by William "Chief" Abbott for 50 years. He passed on his legendary camp to the Leach Family in 1976.
The Leach Family is uniquely qualified to operate the camp. Patriarch Jack Leach purchased AWC as he was nearing retirement after 20 years as Superintendent of Town of Webb Schools in Old Forge, New York. Soon, sons John and Dave, both professional educators, joined their father and continue to carry on the Woodcraft tradition today. Both spent previous summers working for "Chief" Abbott and grew up just seven miles from camp.
