Welcome Forest Lake Camp Alumni!

A very deep and hearty welcome to all alumni of Forest Lake Camp! We are alive and well after some 83 years and continue to offer life-shaping experiences to boys and girls here in the beautiful New York Adirondacks. We are very happy you are here!

We have many things to show you on these Alumni pages:

Alumni Directory — This is a directory of all alumni whose email addresses we have. It is searchable by both name and year attended. We very much want to expand the Directory and hope you will contribute to it by adding or updating your listing and by letting us know the whereabouts of other alumni.

Photo Gallery — Over time, we will be scanning in all the cabin pictures we have from years past, and you will be able to search them by year. Perhaps you will even be able to see yourself! For now, you will have to be satisfied with a variety of pictures over many years.

Alumni News — This is a very important section of the Alumni Page that gives you and FLC a simple way to stay in touch with one another. You are able to read the latest newsletters from the camp, special announcements about alumni meetings and reunions, and as well, are able to send us the latest information about you and your life. We want to hear from you!

The Confer Legacy — As you all know, the Confer family started, owned, and managed Forest Lake Camp for 82 years. During those years, H.T. (Coach) Confer, Phil and Sally Confer, and Gary & Ginnie Confer, made it possible for thousands of children to experience the outdoors, develop new friends, and gain confidence in themselves, all without thinking for one minute about themselves. All of us who went through the Forest Lake experience owe them much.

We have spent a lot of time thinking about how we may honor the Confer family. This page will tell you of some of our thoughts.

We would very much like you to revisit your camp and see what it looks like today. We will welcome you any time of year. No need to give us advance notice in the summer when we are there, but if you’d like to drop in during the off-season, do let us know, and we will make arrangements for our caretaker, Russ Combs, to welcome you.

Lastly, want to support Forest Lake Camp on the internet? Please link to our website from your website, blog or facebook page! This only helps our search rankings and helps our camp!
