Three Workshops At The Edge Of Camp
Our engineering summer camp has state-of-the-art equipment and expert instructors to help campers grow and develop their skills with the best resources right at their fingertips. At the edge of camp we have three dedicated workshop lean-tos: a blacksmithing forge, a woodworking shop and a robotics and coding lab – each with trained instructors, proper safety gear and small group sizes.

Two Forges, Anvils & 3,500 Years Of Craft
The first workshop, “Isengard,” is for our blacksmiths, with two forges complete with anvils, grinders and more hammers than you’ve ever seen. People have been forging metal for over 3,500 years, and now your camper can follow in their footsteps – learning fire safety, hammer control and real metalworking technique one-on-one with our instructors.

Build Something Big Or Small In The Woodshop
Right next door is our woodworking shop for adventurers who like to work with wood. Build something small or big, simple or intricate – we have tools for everything you’d ever want to make, and if we don’t, we can make them! Chop, saw, whittle, carve and enjoy the pride of creating something with your own hands, with an instructor guiding every cut.

STEM In The Woods: Robotics & Coding
The third workshop is for our more technology-minded campers – STEM in the woods! In the “R2-Lean2” campers learn how to build, program and battle robots, and help design, build and code machinery and computers. One summer we built an arcade machine and a 3-D printer completely from scratch.

We Don’t Study Engineering – We Do It
High school engineering summer camps are not all created equal. At Long Lake Camp Adventures campers do not sit through lectures; they experience engineering. Every bit of curiosity becomes something tangible they can hold, use and be proud of – metal from the forge, wood from the shop, and robots that move, respond and compete. It is the kind of practical learning that sticks, and the kind that builds ability and self-confidence.

Makers Teaching Makers
Our instructors are not just teachers; they are makers, engineers and creators who are patient and enthusiastic about helping teens work through challenges. Small groups give each camper attention, guidance and the freedom to experiment, all in the center of the Adirondacks – a place of creativity and discovery far from screens and distractions. Whether you are searching for the best engineering summer camps or simply an adventure that challenges your teenager to think, build and grow, Long Lake Camp Adventures is where young engineers find the spark and the courage to follow it.
