Camp Regis Applejack

Camp Regis Applejack is a coed, non-denominational, day and overnight children's summer camp in the Adirondacks. Founded in 1946 this family-run summer camp promotes traditional camp programs along with sustainable initiatives and an inclusive community. The camp has a variety of activities for their campers, aged 6 to 17, from Arts & Crafts to Wilderness Trips and more.
Camp Regis is located on the shores of Upper St. Regis Lake in the Adirondack National Park. Camp Regis is a renovated Great Camp formerly owned by William Hall Penfield who was friends with the others on the lake such as the Vanderbilt and Post families.
Camp Regis opened its doors in 1946 by Earl and Pauline Humes, who in their first year welcomed a duchess from Austria in the same bunk as a concentration camp survivor who was sent via the German government. The Humes' founded their camp on the ideals of the Quaker religion, focusing on the idea of acceptance and community. In 1956 they created Camp Applejack to focus on the needs of their teenage campers. Later running two separate camps became tedious so they combined the camps to create Camp Regis Applejack.
Camp Regis Applejack continues to be a family-run business with the current Director being Earl and Pauline Humes' son Michael Humes. In late 2019 Michael Humes' daughter Emily Yancey started working full time at the summer camp and is poised to be the third generation to run Camp Regis Applejack.
