Summer Camp at Camp Is-Sho-Da
Welcome to Camp Is-Sho-Da! Located on 100 acres of fields and woods in East Greenbush, Camp IsSho-Da is a great option to enjoy all the best of camp. With hiking trails, a five-acre pond for water activities, a large playfield, and facilities for nature study and artmaking, there is always something fun to do. Rustic screened enclosed shelters, platform tents, and covered wagons offer a variety of options for camping overnights.
