Swimming in a freshwater lake, hiking in the woods, going boating, or telling spooky tales around a campfire are all summer activities that are part and parcel of the lives of Lewisboro children.

But for kids at Camp Morty, headquartered in Westchester County’s Sal J. Prezioso Mountain Lakes Camp off Hawley Road, they are often brand-new experiences and rare pleasures being savored for the first time.
