School Notes:

  • North Country School is a garden in which children grow. We are preservationists and what we have set out to preserve is childhood. North Country Treetops strives for a way of life that nurtures resiliency, embraces the academic disciplines and develops inner values of the spirit.
  • Treetops is a summer camp for boys and girls, located in the highest Adirondacks. There are two camp communities, a junior division for about 60 children, eight through eleven years of age, and a senior division for about 90 children, ages twelve through fourteen. The camp provides a rich, non-competitive environment through programs of swimming, canoeing, sailing, horseback riding, music, creative arts, camp craft, athletics, nature study, and farm work on an operating farm with animals and organic gardens. The children take many day and overnight camping trips by foot, horse, and canoe.
  • Children may plan and choose most of their own activities beyond the required swimming and riding classes. A work program in which all participate emphasizes community needs. Group life is made as meaningful as possible through the enrollment of staff and children from varying racial, religious, national, economic and geographic backgrounds.
