Camp Onyahsa
Background
Onyahsa has been home to mostly New York kids, but has accommodated youth from across the United States, and all over the world. International campers include youth from Spain, France, Japan, China, Canada, and many other countries. The staff is also very diverse having members from Denver, Virginia, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Boston, New Jersey, Maryland, Quebec, Japan, Sweden, and Spain. The Mess Hall, originally constructed in 1938, represent the national flags of former campers and staff. Along with the main lakefront campus, Onyahsa has acquired over 150 acres of "forever wild" woodlands across East Lake Road. Along with the traditional overnight camping experience, Onyahsa offers many specialty camps, day camping, teen camp, leader training, and school-year monthly overnights. The site also rents it facility to groups for overnight events, weddings, or other uses from September to June.
