Camps Baco & Che-Na-Wah

We’re two separate camps built on a single tradition. The secret to a great camp is its people.

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 as family-run camps along the shores of tranquil Lake Balfour in the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York.

“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
