Putnam Camp

I worked at Putnam camp for summer of 2005 at it was an amazing experience. I was the breakfast cook and served guests eggs to order and homemade baked goods. The kitchen was a great place to cook and hang out! There were not usually more than 20 guest at a time, so it was a very cozy experience. Most guests would stay for a few nights to a week. It’s a bit rustic, but the hiking is incredible. I miss the Adirondacks often. The food served is dependent on the summertime cooks (breakfast and dinner), and then lunch is always hiking sandwich bagged lunches that campers assemble themselves. There is an indoor and outdoor shower that guests share, as far as I can remember. There are many different levels of hikes in the area – high peaks and low peaks. Don’t expect switchbacks like on the west coast, though. There is a ton of history associated with the camp too (Freud was a camper) – it’s worth a trip for sure!
