Camps Baco & Che-Na-Wah
We’re two separate camps built on a single tradition. The secret to a great camp is its people.
Family Owned. Family Run.
For Generations.
We are delighted to be celebrating more than 100 years of fun, thrilling adventures, lasting friendships, and cherished memories.
Camp Che-Na-Wah was established in 1923 and Camp Baco in 1951 along the shores of tranquil Lake Balfour in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. Now in our third generation of family ownership and leadership, we continue the traditions and values that have made our camps a summer home for generations of campers.

“Baco and Che-Na-Wah are where they can step back and enjoy life for what it is, which is huge. I don’t think my daughter will ever want to leave!”
— Lisa & Michael Greenberg, Baco & CNW Parents
