Skidmore College offers a variety of programs for children of all ages during the summer months.
Camp Northwoods, Skidmore’s day camp for children entering grades 1-6, offers an exciting program
of sports, cultural arts, nature study and relaxed play. Our goal is to provide a
variety of fun activities that happily challenge the imagination, intellect, and body.
The camp's home base is Falstaff's Pavilion on the Skidmore College campus, but campers
frequent the Williamson Sports Center, Schick Art Gallery, Tang Teaching Museum and
Art Gallery, and Zankel Music Center. The daily enrichment activities led by the
qualified staff are supplemented by weekly field trips to recreational and historical
sites, and visits by special guests. Children will also enjoy arts and crafts, ceramics,
games, hiking, and daily swim time. One and two-week sessions are available from
June 24-August 9.
Skidmore College also offers a wide array of Sports Camps from June through August for children of all ages. Choose from baseball, lacrosse,
swimming, basketball, tennis, soccer, volleyball and field hockey. Children learn
the concept of teamwork while acquiring the necessary skills for his or her sport
of choice. Adults, novice or experienced, can participate in a rowing program offered
throughout the spring, summer and fall at the Boat House located on beautiful Fish
Creek. All other programs are held on the Skidmore Campus at the Sports and Recreation
Center and/or the adjacent fields.
