Our latest strategic plan is a bold call-to-action for our Camp and School communities—and it needed a name that would match that spirit.

Meet “Growing Evergreen.”

A Message From Todd

Todd Ormiston

“When we consider the sense of community that our alumni foster during their time here on our mountain campus, it’s a feeling of connectedness that they carry with them throughout their lives. In a world where the value of human-to-human and human-to-nature connections are ever more important, Growing Evergreen—our latest strategic plan—blazes a trail to ensure that happens.”

For over a century, North Country School & Camp Treetops has provided a transformational and enduring experience for thousands of children. But our reach extends far beyond that. When we consider the sense of community that our alumni foster during their time here on our mountain campus, it’s a feeling of connectedness that they carry with them throughout their lives. In a world where the value of human-to-human and human-to-nature connections are ever more important, Growing Evergreen—our latest strategic plan—blazes a trail to ensure that happens.

Here, our campers and students learn how to live and thrive with each other as they find their place within our community and the natural world that surrounds us here in the Adirondacks. Expertly guided by our teachers and counselors, our children benefit from mentors and teachers who work daily to instill the timeless values and traditions of Camp and School. Beyond their time at our mountain home, Camp and School alumni carry the skills, values, and perspectives they develop during their time here for life, setting them up with the confidence to succeed, but also the humility and courage to fail.

We help our children learn who they really are at their core so they can enter the world as changemakers, leaders, teammates, motivators, upstanders, friends, mentors, and a host of other personas that are focused not on seeking fame or fortune, but on finding happiness, meaning, and purpose in their life pursuits. The beauty of Camp and School’s impact on our children is that they can become who they are meant to be—but also that they can help others to realize that they can do the same to make our world a better place together.
