Camp operations have been brought up to County standards for safety, ADA compliance and in line with public health standards.  The planned launch of the access listed below will rely on the County’s ability to make the camp ready to these standards. 

In addition to the programming for youth and family services, Pathfinder Foundation intends to create and maintain opportunities for groups and entities to access the amenities and services/programming at the camp. Plan your next group outing at the camp!   Send us an inquiry to learn more about the corporate events, leadership and team building events we can organize for your group, OR free to reserve a campsite for your self-service group outing!

Community Days - free admission, cash prizes, family fun, free youth events

Information about prior and future community days can be found here: Community Days

​

More than any other sport, soccer has the potential to create community engagement across diverse backgrounds, and unify them. Professional football (soccer) clubs around the world have historically had a significant connection with their local communities. During the sport’s early years many of the pioneering professional clubs were borne out of local entities such as Working Men’s Clubs, church organizations or prominent industries. As clubs developed through the 19th century, they were also a distraction from the toil and under-developed living and working conditions. Clubs became linked to cities, towns or districts and have developed long standing relationships with local communities. It is our desire to see Pathfinder Football Club recognized as a symbol of civic pride and personal identity. 

In conjunction with home games, we will create community days open to the public. There will be NO CHARGE for admission. We will leverage local vendors and businesses to create a “festival environment” of food, games and activities. The many professions that align with a professional sports team will be on full display and will be open to internship opportunities. Marist College is already in an internship partnership with Pathfinder, and we plan to expand to BOCES and Dutchess County Community College as well. Communications, Media, Hospitality, Sports Management, Entrepreneurship, Sales, Marketing, Project Management, Facilities Management, Finance, Nutrition, Mental and Physical Wellness professional internships, mentorship and shadowing opportunities will be available to Dutchess County youth.    

In addition to the Spring, Summer and Fall community days aligned with pre-professional soccer matches, Pathfinder will host a winter festival to increase public awareness of our winter program activities.
