Camp Herrlich

Camp Changes Lives! Camp Herrlich is a year round education/ recreation center providing programs that work towards developing cultural harmony, environmental stewardship, community service and spiritual growth in and atmosphere of acceptance and love. We run a summer resident and day camp. During the school year we offer before and after school programs, weekend retreats, teambuilding, leadership and environmental education programs. Since the COVID19 pandemic hit, we have pivoted to respond by converting our after school program into a Full Day Childcare program with distance learning, serving up to 60 children a day as they navigate this new type of learning and interacting. The camp is located in the heart of Putnam County about one hour north of NYC. It is situated on 156 acres of land that includes a nine acre lake, ponds, flowing streams, caves, bountiful forest, hiking trails and rolling fields. Personal and intellectual growth, community respect and environmental stewardship are integral parts of the educational process and camping experience. The camp cares for over 6000 children each year in its varied programs, working in partnership with county, state, and federal organizations, public and parochial schools, and not-for-profit organizations and agencies to support families and children through the tri-state area.
