For more than 80 years, that's what Camp Stella Maris has been all about. Year after year, children return to our beautiful 28-acre campsite, located just 30 miles south of Rochester, NY, for a positive, memorable, safe and fun experience. Rustic cabins and a picturesque waterfront await our campers. Enthusiastic counselors offer meaningful opportunities for kids to try new things. Lifelong friendships are often formed. We strive to help children enhance self-esteem, develop problem-solving skills and build leadership traits. Our campers go back to their families a little more confident, better equipped to face the challenges that await them in school, in social circles and in the rest of today's complicated world. Camp Stella Maris is more than a summer camp. Whether we're running resident camp, hosting a youth group retreat or directing an adventure-based learning program on the high-ropes course, CSM is a year-round resource for children and families. We're focused on positive youth development by providing a safe environment, positive role models and quality programming.
