Intergenerational Programs and Retreats
Summer camp silliness and fun, for all ages!
One thing that has been a fixture at Unirondack since the beginning is our love of all-ages programs, where family units of all kinds and people from all walks of life can gather up to be in nature, share fun experiences, and make good camp together. These intergenerational programs and retreats are the ideal opportunity for newcomers to get a feel for what Unirondack’s community has to offer, or for established lovers of Unirondack to reconnect with old friends and reminisce.
Pricing:
All programs have a sliding scale price model, and there’s no difference in the accommodations of the price points. We recognize that the attendees for our adult programs range from those who have just graduated from high school to those who have been working with a salary for many years. So, please choose the price point that you're able, and email us with any questions you might have. Those who select the Supporter option help to offset the cost for those who need the Discounted option.
Deadline:
Please, remember to register at least one week before the event. Registration will automatically close one week prior to arrival, so reach out directly to the managers if you need to register late. Registering less than one week before the event will incur a $25 late fee on top of your chosen price tier.
