FAITH

Our campers grow in their personal faith by participating in simple faith promoting activities like singing grace at meals, saying the Lord’s Prayer after campfire, and choosing whether to attend church on Sunday. All campers have a choice to participate to the level at which they are comfortable.

ENDURANCE

Our campers develop endurance by setting challenging goals and working hard to achieve them—whether it’s working toward senior sailing club, advancing in archery pins, or persevering on waterskis.

COURAGE

Our campers embrace courage by stepping out of their comfort zones and trying new things, like horseback riding, meeting a new friend, or performing in the Wacky Wednesday Show.

CONFIDENCE

Our campers build confidence through myriad camp experiences including giving a Morning Talk, community service projects, mindfulness practices, or joining the cast of the summer play. I could go on and on!

Our Directors

Sandy & Randy Abbott

Hello! My name is Sandy Abbott, and I am happy to introduce myself as the Director of Camp Jeanne d’Arc. Along with my co-director and husband Randy Abbott, we enthusiastically welcome you to the Camp Jeanne d’Arc family and to our beautiful summer camp, nestled in the picturesque Adirondack Mountains of Upstate New York–the perfect environment for building strong girls–all the while having a ton of fun. 

camp Testimonials

As the directors, Randy and Sandy don’t have to know who my kids are, but they do.

Let me start by saying that I am not the kind of person who normally writes this type of letter. I don’t normally put my seal of approval or endorsement on any product or service. However, over the last few years of my two daughters attending camp I have been thoroughly impressed by just how much Randy, Sandy and all of their staff care about the kids. As the directors, Randy and Sandy don’t have to know who my kids are, but they do. And I’ve seen and heard years of evidence that they know all their campers by name and take an active interest in all of them. Jeanne D’arc campers are lifers. It is an experience like no other for the campers. I would recommend them to any family.

Our history

Faith, endurance, courage, and confidence

Young Ruth McIntyre stood out in the middle of frozen Lake Chateaugay on snowshoes, took in the panoramic mountain view around her and, smiling, turned to her mother and said, “This is it. This is where I want my camp to be.”
