Today we are announcing a new multi-year research project at TAUNY.  For many families in the North Country, their camps are a beloved, often multi-generational, place to gather together to enjoy the outdoors, or just get away from everyday responsibilities.  Sometimes those camps are located just a few miles from the owners’ primary homes. Often, the camp buildings aren’t fancy, but are significant for the happy memories they hold.


Led by folklorist and TAUNY Executive Director Jill Breit, TAUNY’s staff and partners around the region are embarking on a journey to document family camps throughout the woods and on the shores of rivers and lakes of the North Country and to record stories associated with these special places. TAUNY’s project will focus on camps owned by year-round residents of the North Country. (We recognize and value that camp life is important to seasonal residents, too; there is a lot of ground to cover and we may expand the project in the future!)


We’d love to hear from you about your family camp, get in touch by emailing jill@tauny.org if you are interested in participation in the project.
