Our Location and Property

Camp Whitman is located on the west side of Seneca Lake between Geneva and Watkins Glen, off of Route 14.  Our beautiful 117-acre property features private lake frontage, woods, ravines, meadows and a pond.    Campers swim in our sparkling pool, boat on the lake, hike on our trails, play games on our main field and enjoy nights sitting by the campfire.  Our property is also home to rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, deer, groundhogs and dozens of bird species including impressive great blue heron, osprey and bald eagles.

Summer Camp Facilities

Campers sleep in small four-bed cabins clustered around a central campfire ring.  Counselors either sleep in the same cabin as campers or in an neighboring cabin, and are on duty chaperoning campers 24 hours/day.  The cabins are simple, but comfortable, and do not include electricity or water.  

Restroom facilities include well-maintained outhouses adjacent to each cabin area as well as a shower house with hot showers, flush toilets and sinks.
