At Gate Hill, one of our core values is to always improve. Whether it’s a
camper working hard at instructional swim, our counselors learning new
ways to make the day fun, or the year round team planning 10 months for 2!
One way that we always improve is with our commitment to the facility. I'm
excited to share a few of this year’s developments with you!
Our newest addition is a multipurpose athletic field located next to the Dining
Hall. Get pumped for the new home of Lacrosse, Gate Hill Classics like
Stealing Sticks and Flag Football— THAT’S A TOUCHDOWN!
At the same time campers will notice a new look as they enter camp. More
trees and shrubs, and expanded parking for better access and flow.
Elsewhere on camp we are making better use of our beautiful forest setting
with the construction of a winding nature trail to explore. Navigating past
several species of tree, natural streams and rock features, there’s lots to
discover. The new trail allows us to continue to expand our growing nature
program.
We have lots more exciting 2014 developments in the
works. Stay tuned for updates on Camp on Wheels, Early
Childhood and more in the coming months.
See you on the fields… See you on the fields… See you on the fields… See you on the fields… JoshJoshJoshJosh

Gate Hill loves to put on a party, and this winter for the first time we left camp to bring
the fun to the heart of NYC, celebrating a winter carnival with our city families. We
enjoyed Gaga, cotton candy, and carnival fun with friends new and old. If you’re
