Over 160 acres of natural beauty include a sandy canoe launch along the Great Swamp and the Green Chimneys Farm & Wildlife Center, where campers make furry and feathered friends with 200+ animals. And an indoor pool means swimming in almost any weather. Green Chimneys Summer Camp is accredited by the American Camp Association and licensed by the New York State Department of Health.

Mac

Crabapple Hollow Macintosh, “Mac” for short, is a 13-year-old Clydesdale gelding (male) with striking white markings and long, white hair on his legs called “feathers.” Clydesdales originated in Scotland as one of the smaller draft breeds, but have been bred to be taller to look more impressive in parades & shows. Mac is well known on campus as one of the biggest horses at the barn, as he stands around 17 hands high and weighs close to 1,200 pounds! But don’t let his size fool you – Mac is a gentle giant, and is great at his job as a therapy horse, helping students gain important skills in riding & driving sessions.
