1. Take Route 80 West, to Blairstown-Hope, Exit 12.

2. Proceed North on Rte. 521 to Blairstown (approximately 5 miles).

3. Turn Left at (T) Junction onto Rte. 94 South.

4. Proceed short distance to Traffic Light and turn Right. (Making a simple 90 angle, do NOT make a sharp right.)

5. Continue straight down residential road (Bridge St.), and begin climbing a steep hill to a Stop Sign. Make a sharp right* at Stop Sign and continue up hill. (Be careful!) At top, bear left onto Millbrook Road.

6. Just stay on Millbrook Road, the main road, which will twist and wind a great deal. You will know you are getting close when you pass a small lake and then the Princeton Education Center on the right. 1/4 mile further, take the first Right. This is Birch Ridge Road.

7. The camp is 1/4 mile down on left hand side of road. We will be meeting in the Dining Hall. The camp office is the first building on the right as you enter the camp. There will be a map there to show you where the dining hall is.

* BUSES:

If you wish to avoid making such a sharp right on a hill, go pass the traffic light on Rte. 94 to the 3rd gas station (1/2 to 1 mile). Turn Right onto Main Street (across from Gas Station). Go past Post Office on right and a bank and library on left. Bear Left up the hill just after the Library. Turn Left onto Millbrook Road.

From here, pick up from direction #6 above.

ALTERNATE ROUTES:

Via Route 94 South out of Newton, once in Blairstown, follow from direction #4 above.

Via 94 North through the Delaware Water Gap, turn Left at light in Blairstown and then continue following from direction #5 above.
