Where we Live, What We Eat

FOOD: We take food seriously at Windsor Mountain. Andre our Jamaican chef who has run our dining hall for the past three summers, prepares meals that rely on locally grown ingredients as often as possible. We bake our own bread and supply fresh fruit and snacks as well as salad and vegetarian options for every meal. The salad bar offers a variety of vegetables and fruits, some of which the campers themselves have harvested. We also work closely with campers to accommodate dietary restrictions and food allergies.

HOUSING: Girls finishing grades 2-6 live in the TREEHOUSE, a two story dormitory-style building. Each dorm bunks six to eight girls with counselors living in attached rooms. A few steps away, the bathroom contains toilets, sinks and hot showers. On the other side, an expansive deck connects to a cozy library where campers can spend rainy days or simply quiet hours.

Boys finishing grades 2-6 live in CABINS that bunk seven to ten boys. Each cabin has running water, toilets and sinks. Hot showers are just behind the cabins, and a fire pit in the cabin meadow makes a wonderful gathering spot.

In the nearby white pine grove, the TENT UNIT houses older boys and girls finishing grades 7-9, campers in our Leaders in Training program, and their counselors. Students live in Bungalows (new in 2010), Adirondack-like shelters called “Shirondos” and in canvas tents on raised platforms. All are rustic and have lights and electricity. A nearby wash center provides sinks and toilets and hot showers are nearby as well. A tent pavilion with a fieldstone fireplace offers a group gathering place.
