Part of each morning belongs to our resource people, who set the tone for the day with new and challenging ideas and activities. Evening is a time for all-camp activities and community campfire. Campfire is the essence of the day, distilled in poetry, music and other creative sharing in front of a warm fire in a circle of friends. Unirondack is playing and working together. Campers and staff contribute through participating in activities, daily chores, and planning the evening campfire.
Meals are family style, full of tasty food, good conversation, and good humor.
Unirondack is magic. The primary purpose of Unirondack is education, drawing upon the learning which results from experience. In 1951 the New York State Convention of Universalists purchased 9 acres of a peninsula on Beaver Lake in the Adirondack State Park. The purpose was to provide a permanent camp setting for summer religious education institutes. After the Unitarian Universalist merger in 1961, the camp was operated by the St. Lawrence UU District until Unirondack was legally incorporated in 1966.
