Located in the southern Catskill Mountains, just 90 miles from New York City, Iroquois Springs is a traditional coed summer camp that has been offering children an extraordinary camp experience since 1931. Owned and directed by Mark and Laura Newfield, Iroquois Springs is a place where campers build confidence, independence, resilience and lifelong friendships.
At Iroquois Springs campers enjoy an extensive variety of activities and healthy challenges that allow them to find personal success. But the real magic of Iroquois Springs is the people – our camp family of administration, staff, campers and alumni define who we are and why we call Iroquois Springs our “summer home”.
Founded in 1931, Iroquois Springs is located in the Southern Catskill Mountains, less than 90 minutes from New York City. Our property of almost 200 acres has a private spring-fed lake and scenic wooded trails surrounding our beautifully maintained facilities. Our outstanding facilities have improved and changed through the years, but our commitment to providing our camp family with a safe, nurturing, supportive and incredibly fun camp experience has remained the same. Our program is designed to help campers build confidence, take on healthy challenges, learn new skills and develop lifelong friendships. We offer a structured and elective program, giving campers the best of both worlds. Campers have the opportunity to try everything camp offers, as they attend morning activities with their bunk, as well as the freedom to choose afternoon electives and clubs to focus on activities they truly enjoy, or to try new things.
