About Clearpool Summer Camp: Our 3.5-acre natural lake features a 30-foot waterfront for campers to splash, swim and boat. Miles of open green space provide ample room for sports and outdoor activities as well as experiential learning. Hands-on nature and skill-building activities help campers develop environmental awareness and new personal tools. Green Chimneys Summer Camp is accredited by the American Camp Association and licensed by the New York State Department of Health.

Brownie

With the completion of an elaborate new habitat built by Green Chimneys’ woodshop students, the Farm Science classroom was able to welcome Brownie into her new home. Brownie previously lived alone in her cage in the farm and wildlife office, but guinea pigs do best in larger environments. The new habitat allows her to live in a herd as she would in the wild, with many places to hide and ways to practice her skills. Brownie has always been a social creature, and she has taken over the guinea pig herd but is a very peaceful leader.
