2025 Camp Sessions
We are so excited to be offering another full summer of camps this upcoming summer! Registrations IS LIVE January 1, 2025 ! Here is our schedule (all camps are the grade your camper has just completed):
TBD: Spring Cleaning Work Week
Volunteer Wake Up Camp Days JUNE 17, 18, 19 DURING STAFF WEEK
Lake Chenango Retreat, under the leadership of the new property owner Ian Balheim, is thriving. The grounds are full of life and activity darn close to year round. In order to keep the assets and supplies of Camp Talahi secure, at the end of the camp season they are inventoried and packed away in the Craft Cabin and Camp store. Moving our volunteer work days to Staff week allows Ian to gain an income generating weekend while we focus our resources on getting everything set for the campers arrival.
June 22-27: CIT Camp (grades 9-11): Being a counselor-in-training (CIT) is a leadership opportunity for high school students. CITs lead younger campers during their camp sessions, helping younger kids make friends, try new things, and have a great time. CIT camp is an opportunity to learn all the skills it takes to be an amazing counselor, from leading songs and games to public speaking, time management and group leadership. Being a CIT is one of the best experiences at Camp Talahi! You must attend this training week to be a CIT for summer 2020. At camp, CITs will be assigned to 1-2 additional camp sessions to volunteer for.
June 29 – July 1: Transgender and Gender Diverse Middle School Camp (grades 6-8):Our Transgender Teen Camp was so popular last year, we’ve decided to separate them and have a middle school session and a high school session just for Transgender Teens to enjoy a whole week at camp!

July 11-13: Family Camp: Camp Talahi is a great time for the whole family and friends! All generations, all family types, chosen and biological family, and of course Talahi singles. Enjoy camp’s beautiful scenery during a laid-back weekend for families of all shapes and sizes. The schedule for family camp is flexible, and our Counselors in Training will be on hand to offer games, crafts, nature hikes, and activities for kids of all ages. There will also be lifeguards on duty and plenty of time to swim and build sand castles, which is always a family camp favorite activity! Young Adult camps run concurrently. Families can choose to stay in our modern dorms, go tent camping in the camper’s meadow, or may opt to for an RV (limited number of outlets available in field).
