Comstock Health Lodge Gets Facelift

Our Comstock Program Center has been renovated thanks to the generous donation of George and Sheila Moy Saul. The Sauls, now residents of Washington State, made the donation in honor of Sheila's mother, Mrs. Peg Moy, a resident of Ithaca. When resident camp isn't in session, the lodge will be available for troop camping!
Read more and see photos!

Bring your troop for fun-filled days staffed by us! You'll boat, swim, enjoy campfires and more!  If you're planning to join us, get your registration in so the program you want isn't cancelled for low enrollment.  See brochure.
