Every dollar matters, especially this year. Since you haven’t had to buy coffee everyday lately, throw some of those bucks towards your home away from home!
    Curious how your dollars are spent at Unirondack? Curious how your dollars are spent at Unirondack? Here’s what we normally would say, but this year swap out the frisbee for 10 masks, swap out the cookies for a huge bottle of sanitizer and swap out art supplies for Covid-19 tests. Things will look a little different this year but the heart of Unirondack will stay the same.

    We’re thankful for our Unirondack family and for We’re thankful for our Unirondack family and for the fact that a huge part of that family is that we continually challenge ourselves to learn and grow and love each other in the process. What do we need to unlearn about the traditions of this day? What do we have to learn about its history? Certainly a lot. And we’re so happy to have you in our family so we can do this work together. 

PS: We are SO embarrassed to admit we couldn’t find one single photo of just the three of us so in classic 2020 fashion we took one by Zoom. We promise to fix this as soon as possible. 

(Camp is located on the ancestral homelands of the Haudenosaunee.)

    Dear friends: Currently shivering in the camp st Dear friends: 

Currently shivering in the camp store. Wondering how much camp swag we should bag up to do off season camp store. We have an amazing camper volunteer who is willing to fill and mail orders this season. We’ve been asked about this occasionally, and in the past felt there wasnt enough demand to relocate all the stock. Are you interested in hoodies, tshirts, long sleeves, thermal mugs, and specifically orange water bottles?
    No matter what happens today there are a lot of pe No matter what happens today there are a lot of people in our community who are stressed, anxious, hurting, worried, and nervous. And no matter who wins this election there will be a lot of work to do to make this world one that is fair and just and loving for all. When people talk about the president we often hear that if someone supports him they don’t care about the marginalized. If he wins re-election (and even if he doesn’t) it is going to feel like there are a lot of people who don’t care. The purpose of this post is to remind you that there is a place and a people who love you and care about you. We can’t fully be there right now in the ways we want, but we encourage you to reach out to your closest camp people today. There is love to share. Of course we don’t want to invalidate the multitude of worries, but rather extend our love to those who need it. With extra care and hugs today...
- Your Unirondack Family.
    Hey Kelly!! Surpriiiise! • This, friends, is Kel Hey Kelly!! Surpriiiise!

This, friends, is Kelly Donahue. Many people know and love him for so many reasons. This year we added another. Kelly was our go-to person on the ground to coordinate volunteers, complete work projects, and caretake for camp as we did what we could without campers. The amount of work he did this year was nothing short of immense. One thing you might not know about Kelly is that since he was 12 he’s wanted something on camp named after him. (He’s tried to name every porch on camp the Donahue Deck for the past 5 years but to no avail.) Well one of his many solo projects this summer was completing a rebuild of these stairs. In appreciation to you, Kelly, for the THOUSANDS of square feet of painting, bed moving, earth digging, firewood stacking, junk removal, and much much more... we present to you the Donahue Descent. Our 2020 wouldn’t have been what it was without you and we love you for it. Until next year...
    To say we had a good summer feels strange. We had To say we had a good summer feels strange. We had some incredible folks volunteer their time to paint and clean and care for camp. We had incredible online programs we are so proud of. And we even created inside jokes in our own special Unirondack way! But as we look to close things up next month it feels so bittersweet. Please be on the lookout for ways to promote camp next year. We miss you all so dearly and want nothing more than to see this place filled with smiling faces once more.

    Umm shoutout to @tino.lees... @emerson_kennedy_ is Umm shoutout to @tino.lees... @emerson_kennedy_ is passing YOU the URock and we couldn’t agree more!

Tino won the U-Rock! They are a vital member of our camp community. Usually kitchen staff, they have stepped up immeasurably this year to run mental health programming, vital always, but especially right now. They have created the space for people to feel and process together every single week, which is no small feat. Tino lights up every room they walk into, bringing laughter and a sense of calm all at once. They deserve recognition for their work, and to remember that camp will always love them!
