Camp Overview
A traditional, 7-week residential camp, Scatico will celebrate it's 101st anniversary of family ownership in 2022. Located on two spring-fed lakes on 250 acres in the Hudson Valley, Scatico is located 100 miles north of New York City.
A true brother-sister camp, meaning there are two distinct campuses on one property, Scatico has 135 girl campers and 135 boys between the ages of 7 and 15. We are a close-knit community where campers and counselors of all ages know each other's names, and where most return summer after summer. While many of our campers are from the New York-area, we have campers from over 18 states including Florida, California and Texas. We also have international campers from Spain, Hong Kong, Hungary, the UK, Morocco, and France. Scatico looks to provide the skills, values, friendships and memories that make traditional summer camps a life-enriching experience. We do this by creating a nurturing community and providing a fun and balanced program. From an outdoor adventure project to a tennis tournament, a show rehearsal to an evening basketball game, Scatico's program includes all activity areas. We resonate with families looking for a values-based, traditional camp experience; a not-too-large camper population; directors very involved in the day-to-day life of campers and staff; and a structured daily schedule that is group-oriented yet also provides opportunities for individual choice.

Staff Time Off
Staff can expect about a period off each day. There are five days off during the camp season. Once every four evenings counselors are "on duty" (have a nighttime assignment). Staff are free to leave camp on other evenings. There's a curfew. Scatico provides staff transportation into nearby towns several times a week.
