At our New York teen summer camp, most campers stay in modern cedar log cabins with a supervising counselor of the same sex. Other campers stay in bunk houses also supervised by adult counselors. Our oldest boys stay in tent cabins with 3–4 boys per tent and several counselors in adjacent tents. Whenever possible, we accommodate roommate requests. While teens select their own activities daily and do not necessarily participate in events by cabin, bunk, or tent, they often develop lasting friendships with their roommates and counselors.

Omega Teen Camp began in 2002 with a mission to provide teenagers, ages 13-17, with an incredible summer experience that would help them to discover who they are, and how they can live more authentic and joyful lives.

Don't get caught in teen summer limbo ... come to OTC!

Every summer, about 340 teenagers make their way to OTC to form deep connections and gain tools to navigate their lives, or create the life they want.

Omega Teen Camp currently hosts more than 350 teenagers and 60 staff members each summer, who work to make OTC the warm, accepting, and empowering community it is known to be. Along with the 50 activities we offer each summer, the beautiful facilities, and the many opportunities to make friends and gain new life skills, we also provide a solid foundation of a "happy home away from home" to help teens navigate the complex process of coming of age.

Just 90 minutes north of New York City, the camp is easily accessible and attended by campers from all over the world.

My name is Adam Simon and I started this wonderful camp for teenagers. After spending many years as a physical education teacher, coach, and businessman, I began working at Omega Institute with a wonderful community of people. While at Omega, I had the opportunity to lead men's groups around the country. Many of the men I spoke to were struggling with issues of grief and anger, and they indicated that these emotions began when they were teenagers.

Meals are always a favorite time of day at camp and we offer a healthy alternative to traditional summer camp food. Most of our chefs come from the Omega Institute, which is famous for its healthy vegetarian cuisine.
