RELATIONSHIPS

At Camp Northpoint, we ensure a personalized and engaging experience by grouping campers based on the grade level they are entering in Fall 2025. Our mixed-gender groups follow OCFS ratios tailored to each grade range, allowing for a supportive environment where friendships can flourish. Each group adheres to a set schedule filled with daily activities designed to match their unique interests and developmental needs.
Camp Northpoint

Camp Northpoint is divided into 2 main villages plus we offer additional camp offerings. 

• Our Jr. Village units are (Shooting Stars, Comets, Meteors)
• Our Sr. Village units are (Asteroids, Novas, Teen Trekkers)
• In addition, we offer a CIT Program.

ACHIEVEMENT

Our Traditional Day Camp programming follows a progressive model, meaning that age and unit requirements are applied to various activities throughout the camp. Some traditional camp activities may require additional testing, such as the Deep End Test, to ensure safety and readiness.

In our Jr. Village Units, campers follow a pre-assigned schedule of Mastery activities designed to foster skill development.

Meanwhile, campers in our Sr. Village Units have the exciting opportunity to choose their own Mastery Activities, allowing for a more personalized and engaging experience.

This structure helps ensure that all campers participate in activities that are both appropriate for their age and aligned with their interests.

BELONGING

Our counselors are not just exceptional role models; they are superheroes to our campers! They help kids disconnect from technology by encouraging them to appreciate the natural beauty of camp and to take pride in who they are as individuals, rather than just a virtual version of themselves on social media.

All our camp staff undergo a mandatory two-week training program prior to the summer, totaling over 40 hours of in-person training. During this training, we cover a variety of important topics, including:

• Youth Development & Appropriate Camper Interactions
• Youth Mental Health First Aid Training
• NYS Sexual Harassment Training
• Daily Camper Interactions Training
• Safety Around Water Training
• Risk Management Training
• NYS Foundations of Health & Safety
• And more!

Our leadership team consists of individuals who are all at least 21 years old, ensuring a high level of maturity and experience. We are proud to have a camp staff with an impressive retention rate of 79%, with many returning for multiple summers. We take great pride in hiring staff from diverse backgrounds, bringing a wealth of experience and perspectives to enhance the camp experience for all our youth.
