Come to AE this Summer!

Dear AE Campers,

AE has been a very fun place to spend part of my summer. At camp you get to experience things that most people never do and spend an unprecedented amount of time in the peace of the Adirondack woods.
I went to AE not really knowing what to expect. I knew that I would get to meet new people and make friendships but I had no idea of how much fun I would have or how AE would become one of the best parts of my summer. One of AE's goals is not to force the campers into anything, but to simply encourage and coach them to challenge their personal limits and fears. You will develop a new sense of what you can accomplish through individual challenges. You will also be amazed at what your group can accomplish together.
The counselors are all amazing people: Matt, Kaysie, Ally, Seth, Dione, Bob, and Jan just to name a few. If you choose not to attend AE you will be missing out on all the activities, new friendships and a new found sense of self accomplishment. I hope to see many of you readers at AE this summer for 10 days of non-stop fun.

Alex (a former AE camper)

What kind of friend are you?

“And the rest came
They tried to make me laugh
They played games with me
Some games for fun and some
For real and for keeps.
And then they went away
Leaving me in the ruin of the games
Not knowing which were for fun
And which were for keeps and
Leaving me alone with the echoes of
Laughter that wasn’t mine.

Then you came
With your funny way of being
Not quite human
And you made me cry.
And you didn’t seem to care if I did
You just said the games are over
And waited
Until all my tears turned into
Joy.”
