Day Camp

The Town of Tupper Lake Recreation Department runs an annual six-week program based out of the elementary school gym. The Tupper Lake Recreation Department, along with a seasonal staff of teenaged camp counselors, lead groups of children 5-12 years old through a calendar of arts enrichment, nature study, outdoor play, and regular field trips to Little Wolf Public Beach, TL Public Library, and The Wild Center.

Registration opens May 1st and closes June 1st. No late registrations can be accepted. We will hold a day camp fundraiser, buy tickets for a free scholarship this season April 13th, and draw on June 1st. Tickets sold at Town Hall

    Camp Announcements:

    • Due to the growth of this program, the Town of Tupper Lake will no longer accept camper registrations on a rolling basis. All campers must be registered for camp no later than June 1, 2026. The deadline will allow us to plan activities, transportation, and counselor staff accordingly. 
    • There will be a 3-day minimum weekly attendance requirement.
    • Mondays: Make something get messy. Tuesday: Beach Day. Wednesday: Wildschooling. Thursday: Beach day. Fun Fridays!
    • We have found that campers who attend sporadically do not understand our rules and routines, and do not develop meaningful relationships with peers and camp counselors.
    • Campers do not have to attend all 6 weeks of camp.
    • ALL payments are due online WEEKLY
