Catskill Woodland Camp is a summer day camp in Phoenicia, N.Y. for ages 2-15 celebrating folk-heritage, culture, arts, and outdoor education in the Catskill Mountain region. It seeks to provide education, enrichment and leadership opportunities for local youth which focus on tolerance, respect, environmental stewardship, self-empowerment, and team-building.
A New Camp with History
Catskill Woodland Camp was founded in Phoenicia, NY in 2008 by Woodland Valley resident, Cara Cruickshank. Cara's vision for CWC was inspired by tales, stories, and songs of a former local summer camp which specialized in progressive education and folklore: Camp Woodland (1940-1961). With a staff of counselors including the likes of Pete Seeger, alumni including the likes of renowned folk musicians Eric Weissberg and Happy Traum, Camp Woodland offered children the opportunity to uncover and preserve disappearing Catskill traditions through experiential learning.
CWC aims to carry on this mission, in honor of the famous Camp Woodland and to build bridges between the new Catskill generations with the old through mentorship and interactive learning.
