Building strong girls since 1922
Camp Jeanne d’Arc is a traditional summer camp for girls in the Adirondack Mountains, Upstate New York. For girls ages 7-16.
Hello! We are Camp Jeanne d’Arc, and we join hands with families worldwide to build strong girls.
Nestled in the picturesque beauty of the Adirondack Mountains in Upstate New York, Camp Jeanne d'Arc offers a perfect blend of tradition, adventure, personal growth, and downtime. With over 100 years of history and tradition, Camp Jeanne d'Arc brings together the magic of sleepaway camp with the timeless values of Jeanne d'Arc (Joan of Arc): faith, endurance, courage, and confidence [learn more]. Our campers are surrounded by a supportive community of women and girls in a family-like environment, where they can step out of their comfort zones, explore new activities, and build meaningful connections with nature, themselves, and others. Whether sailing on Chateaugay Lake, stepping up as team captain, participating in an overnight campout, joining a mindfulness workshop, or signing up for the summer play, campers experience endless opportunities for fun, growth, and self-discovery.
Our rich traditions, like Feather Picking, Christmas in July, flag-raising, singing at campfire, and family-style dining, foster a deep sense of belonging and unity. These shared magical moments bind campers to the generations before them and to those yet to come, creating cherished memories that last far beyond the summer months.
At Camp Jeanne d’Arc, we prioritize the safety and protection of our campers and staff. Partnering with trusted experts in the camping industry, we uphold rigorous hiring standards and comprehensive safety protocols. We are fully committed to creating a safe environment where your girl’s well-being is always at the forefront of everything we do. We do not cut corners or make compromises on safety!
