Mission

Incorporated under the Department of Education as a cultural institution, Great Camp Sagamore takes its dual purposes of educational programming and interpretation of this site seriously.

That is not to say that you can’t have FUN here. On the contrary! There are lively discussions on how we fit into nature, but they probably take place as you are viewing the Milky Way on a clear evening or sitting at the campfire with a grandchild or two, not in a stuffy classroom.

Sagamore Institute of the Adirondacks is the steward of Great Camp Sagamore and is dedicated to its use for education and interpretation.  Our mission is to foster understanding, care, and respect for nature, people and their critical interdependence. Great Camp Sagamore strives to be a place where broad and diverse audiences gather to use these unique buildings and natural setting to explore and understand our Adirondack culture, environment, and relationship to both.
