Work Continues At The New Pool at Equinunk. Wait Until You See The New Slide!

Link: Camp Games For A Cause!

On May 21st, Summer Camp Alumni & Staff (17 & Older) will gather at Columbia Universities Athletic Facilities in New York City to participate in a Color War style event while raising money to send kids from low income families to summer camp!

Here is another view of the reconstructed Equinunk infirmary, featuring a 1,850 sq. ft. addition allowing for a very comfortable stay in one of six semi-private, media enhanced, air-conditioned rooms. As great as that might sound – we certainly hope that you are only seeing these renovations from afar. However, should you need a little extra TLC, you will be “livin’ it up” under the watchful eye of our tremendous medical staff.

With the weather warming – the work continues up at camp! Check Out the renovated Infirmary at Equinunk!

Equifunk is named after the peaceful and picturesque city of Equinunk, PA.

Equifunk is what is funky about the country.

It’s not just about funk music. It’s about jazz, blues, world, and rock. It’s about celebrating the funky parts of all music.

It’s about The Pinocchio Theory… “If you fake the funk, your nose will grow.” – Bootsy Collins

Each year, Equifunk presents a new lineup of world-class artists. Whether you come alone or with a crew to fill a cabin, we know you’ll leave on Sunday with new friends who share a love of having a good time and getting down.

Equifunk is a kid-friendly event so bring the family along!

It’s the hassle-free music event of the summer and this is why you should come!

• You’ll never have to deal with lines or crowds.
• It’s easy to get close-up to the stage with plenty of room to dance.
• Weatherproof performance space, so you’ll never get rained out.
• Clean and private cabin accommodations, with indoor bathrooms and showers.
• Healthy, fresh food with excellent service.
• A resort-style pool to cool off in.
