Pack Forest Summer Camp
I remember well my many summers spent at Pack Forest. Hidden away in the forests of Warrensburg, Queen Village of the Adirondacks, the summer camp lies nestled beside a shallow lake surrounded by 2,500 acres of cool, hemlock-shaded trails and hiking grounds. Every morning, campers and staff alike awaken to the surreal call of the loons nested just beyond the waterfront, and every evening, they fall asleep to the cheerful chirping of crickets as they dance about in the grasses of the archery field. By day, these sounds are drowned out by the sharp clicks of woodpeckers as they go about hunting for tasty morsels in the branches hanging over the cabin rooftops. And every once in a while, above all these more familiar sounds, one can sometimes hear the thunderous clap of a beaver tail on the surface of the pond up Hogsback Trail, and the haunting screech of an eagle above the treetops of Benwood Mountain.
