Fall at Vanderkamp 🍂 means a change of seasons, slowly unfolding. Sweaters for morning coffee on the wraparound porch, canoe views in red and orange all the way around the lake, and the first fallen leaves guiding your way on miles of trails. This moment won’t last long.

Don’t miss it. 🍁 Tap our profile links to plan your Vanderkamp adventure.

This week on the Cultivate CNY Podcast, Alex Canavan is sitting down with the visionaries behind Vanderkamp, Joe Sisko, Troy Evans, and Dan Cramer.

Vanderkamp is a wilderness retreat set on 850 remote acres in Upstate New York. This trio has transformed a historic church camp into a destination that inspires people to reconnect with the natural world. 🔗 Learn more about Vanderkamp: vanderkampny.com

In part one of this two-part feature, Joe, Troy, and Dan share how a Zillow search for hunting land accidentally led to discovering Vanderkamp, why they believe “if you’re agreeing all the time, you’re gonna create crap,” and how their complementary skillsets came together to build something truly unique.

They discuss why attention is our most valuable resource, how Vanderkamp transforms corporate teams from “stuffy engineers to 7am breathwork sessions,” and why keeping the retreat intimate at just 20 rooms (instead of a more profitable 100) is essential to preserving what makes it special.

Tucked away in the peaceful woods of Vanderkamp, this quiet lakeside cabin feels like a deep exhale. 🌿✨

Morning coffee on the dock, evening walks through wildflowers, and the gentle soundtrack of birds and water—this is where your mind slows and your heart softens.

A reminder that stillness is not empty... it’s full of everything that matters. 💚

Slow down. Breathe deep. And return to what truly matters. 🍃

At Vanderkamp, family trips aren’t about packed schedules or screen time—they’re about moments like this. 🚣‍♂️✨

Launching a canoe at golden hour, laughing at the shoreline, letting the stillness of nature remind you how good it feels to just be together. 🌅💛

Come retreat with us. Reconnect with your loved ones. Rediscover yourself. 🌲👣

✨Where luxury meets stillness, and time slows just for you…

The Boathouse is the kind of summer escape that feels like a secret whispered only to those who know where to look.

Wake up to water views, sip w**e under the stars, and bask in the beauty of nature—with all the comfort and charm of a private lakeside hideaway.

Every detail, from the stone fireplace to the hand-laid path, feels like a dream wrapped in sunlight.

Tag the person who needs to whisk you away to this slice of heaven 💫
