Camp Overview
Camp Turk is a summer camp located on a beautiful, private Round Lake in Woodgate, New York. Our camp is situated on over 1,500 acres of land in the Adirondack Park. The campgrounds offer activities you would expect to see in the Adirondack Park including hiking and swimming, but we offer so much more! From arts & crafts to dance, from music to theatre, from field to waterfront, we have something for everyone. Camp Turk is a safe environment for campers to learn new things and grow their confidence and skills. If you are looking to experience the best summer ever, join us at Camp Turk.

Staff Qualities
“The Mission of Camp Turk is to promote the highest standards of honesty, integrity and the enhancement of each camper’s character. We provide a premier outdoor environment for children to learn valuable life skills as well as fun activity skills. Each camper will experience an opportunity for personal growth, increased self-esteem, and friendship building through our many wonderful programs.”
The role of the counselor plays a vital role in meeting this goal!
The greatest responsibility each staff member has is to insure the health, safety and enjoyment of every camper during their stay at camp. The Camp Turk Committee, the Site Manager, the Administrator & Camp Director have worked hard to see that Camp Turk is well maintained, prepared, and organized for the staff and the campers.
