Adirondack Woodcraft Camps' photostream  

Since 1925, Adirondack Woodcraft Camps has called the Adirondacks home. AWC has existed in peaceful harmony; in perfect time with the natural cycles of the park for over 80 years. Woodcraft was founded and directed by William "Chief" Abbott for 50 years. He passed on his legendary camp to the Leach Family in 1976.

The Leach Family is uniquely qualified to operate the camp. Patriarch Jack Leach purchased AWC as he was nearing retirement after 20 years as Superintendent of Town of Webb Schools in Old Forge, N.Y. Soon, sons John and Dave, both professional educators, joined their father and continue to carry on the Woodcraft tradition today. Both spent previous summers working for "Chief" Abbott and grew up just seven miles from camp.
