Mark and Lauren (camp owners) have transformed Camp Walden since 2010~ The dedication to making the best facility possible is really something remarkable. I would say Camp Walden is one of the best overall quality camps in the North East USA. Bravo on making a dream experience for kids (and adults) who visit this special place.

Love it here. The Woodstock Fruit Festival is held here each year. Eat raw vegan for a week or two and feel great! The camp has basically every activity you could want. And it is beautiful. I actually liked the daily workout up and down the hill to get around the camp, since it is basically all built on a mountain.. The stand up paddle boards were my favorite!

Great Camp!
Seriously, this is the place you want to go for a week of sports, nature and fun!
Well maintained and excellent staff.
We've stayed there with our Airstream during the Woodstock Fruit Festival. Please not that this is not a place for RVs. This was an exception for the festival. They have cabins and available tent camping options. Showers have great hot water and a quite clean. Toilets too. The beach is small but clean and they have some great water toys for you to use at designated times.
There are tons of basketball courts, large soccer field, tennis courts, ball hockey rinks,
