Iroquois Springs

What Iroquois Springs does

Iroquois Springs is a traditional coed overnight summer camp located on a 200-acre property in Rock Hill, New York, in the southern Catskill Mountains approximately 90 miles from New York City. Founded in 1931 and owned and directed by Mark and Laura Newfield since 2001, the camp serves approximately 450 children per summer (225 boys, 225 girls) ages 7–16, drawn primarily from the tri-state area and increasingly from Maryland, Florida, California, North Carolina, and international locations including Canada and Spain. The core offering is a structured overnight camp program with 3-week and 6-week session options, supplemented by free one-day Rookie Day experiences for grades 1–4. Programming spans land and water sports, creative and performing arts, outdoor adventure, media, horseback riding, and fitness, organized around an S.P.A.R.K. character development framework, and supported by 250–275 seasonal staff recruited from the US, Canada, and abroad. The camp is fully accredited by the American Camp Association and uses American Red Cross swim instruction standards.

The business operates on a session-based subscription model: Summer 2026 pricing is $9,350 per 3-week session and $14,600 for the full 6-week season, with Rookie Days offered at no charge as a top-of-funnel acquisition channel. A secondary revenue stream comes from year-round facility rentals of the 200-acre site for corporate retreats, weddings, school trips, and specialty camps accommodating 25 to 2,500 guests during May–June and August–October. Distribution is direct-to-consumer: enrollment runs through online portals (campmanagement.com for returning families, Formstack for new applicants), with bus pickup across the Northeast and airport pickup for long-distance and international campers. Marketing relies on the company website, virtual tours, Rookie Days, and regional reunions in New York, Maryland, and Florida. The company is privately held by the Newfield family with no external investors, no parent company, and no subsidiaries, and operates year-round administrative offices in Dix Hills, NY.
