If we could give Brant Lake Camp a million stars, we would. Our wedding weekend here was nothing short of extraordinary, and it’s hard to put into words just how grateful we are for the experience.
From the moment we first connected with Alexa, we knew we were in the best possible hands. She’s not just a coordinator—she’s a rare kind of person who blends warmth, precision, and pure joy into everything she touches. Every meeting, she showed up with clarity, answers, and a plan. Every promise she made, she fulfilled with grace. And during the weekend itself, she carried us so effortlessly through each moment that we were able to be fully present with our loved ones. Alexa’s smile and spirit are unforgettable, and she truly became the heartbeat of our wedding.
But it wasn’t just Alexa—it was everyone. The staff at Brant Lake Camp became like family to us. Their kindness was endless, their energy boundless. They didn’t just work—they laughed with us, played with us, cheered with us. Who else says “yes” without hesitation when asked to referee water-gun capture the flag, lead a hike at sunrise, or host a massive kickball game? These aren’t just employees—they are people with generous hearts and playful spirits, and they infused our weekend with magic.
The food was outstanding (we are still raving about the gyro lunch!), and the camp itself was a dream; expansive, stunningly maintained, and alive with possibilities. Guests found themselves running from archery to the beach to the ninja course, their inner kids reawakened. For those who needed help navigating the hills, staff were there in seconds with carts and smiles. No one ever felt like a burden, only like a treasured guest.
And then—the wedding itself. We didn’t lift a finger. The team handled every detail, from setup to vendors to even keeping the surprise ice cream truck hidden until just the right moment. They threw an unforgettable after-party, complete with Pedro DJing his heart out - an unexpected surprise!
Our weekend was full of picture-perfect moments: a welcome party under the lights by the water, a cozy campfire, cabins stocked with thoughtful touches like extra blankets, welcome bags delivered with care, etc. On our last night (we had an extended weekend), they somehow helped orchestrate a talent show, Family Feud, broadcast a college football game in one clubhouse, host movies for both kids and adults in others, and s’mores under the stars—because they knew how to give our guests every ounce of joy possible before it ended.
And here’s the truth: our family and friends didn’t just “enjoy” the wedding. They were moved by it. They told us it was unlike anything they’d ever experienced, that it was unforgettable, that it felt like us. And that’s the gift Brant Lake Camp gave us—not just a wedding, but a weekend where our community could gather, play, laugh, and love with us in a way that one night never could.
We left Brant Lake Camp with hearts so full they might burst. We left with memories that bring tears to our eyes even now. And we left with friends already interested in coming back for the family or adult weekends.
If you’re considering Brant Lake Camp, don’t hesitate. It will change the way you think about what a wedding can be. It will give you more than a celebration—it will give you a once-in-a-lifetime gathering of love, joy, and connection. And it will stay with...
Read moreThere are two motto's from Brant Lake Camp that embody everything our two boys have come to know since we sent our oldest at the age of 8, seven years ago, and our youngest 5 years ago when he was only 7.
#1 - BLC is family! It was built on the foundation of family and that feeling permeates from every person at the camp and through every boy who spends their summers there. They build lifelong friends and feel a safety and comfort that make sending them year after year our easiest decision.
#2 - “Where sports are done right” - Brant Lake Camp has developed a program that meets the kids where they are at and not the other way around. They teach sportsmanship above all else and help every kid develop to the level that works for the individual. You don’t need to be a superstar athlete to succeed, everyone plays and feels like a star regardless.
Brant Lake Camp has given our boys a home every summer to learn, try and grow and we couldn’t be more thrilled to be part...
Read moreOne of the best decisions I ever made as a parent was sending my boys to Brant Lake. One of my sons' just finished his Senior C year and one was a Jr. counselor last summer. There is nothing more valuable than knowing your kids are happy, safe and supported. They loved Brant lake; their happiest times were spent there. It is a very special place with 100 year old traditions. Former Brant Lakers' first question to you will always be, Green or Grey? You will always feel part of a community. And there is nothing like seeing the joy on my boys' faces when they run into or get together with camp friends. I too ,will miss seeing the amazing counselors and staff every year on visiting day who have taken such good care of my boys. My boys are better people because of their experiences at camp and the people they met...
