Tranquillity Camp
Part of Growing Up. The best part.
At Tranquillity Camp, we uphold our generational traditions and intentional simplicity, assuring our long-standing practice of always doing what’s right.
Tranquillity has been a special place full of compassion, family traditions, and endless but flexible activities for more than one hundred years. Our unspoiled, 1,200-acre property in the beautiful foothills of the Catskills in Earlton, New York, is a home away from home for passionate staff and returning campers to renew their forever friendships and revisit the lifelong memories made here.
All our camp family is accepted for who they are, and everyone is known by both staff and leadership. What’s more, we are rooted in Jewish-led values that welcome all.
At Tranquillity Camp, lifelong bonds are created, and lives are transformed. So join us and watch our campers find their unique place among friends that feel like family.

Stacy Budkofsky
Stacy Budkofsky brings not only her professional expertise but also her deep, personal connection to the camp she’s called home for decades. A Long Island native, Stacy grew up spending her summers at Tranquillity from 1976 to 1991, rising through the ranks to serve as Girls’ Head Counselor. Her ties to camp span three generations—her father, children, and extended family have all been part of Tranquillity’s cherished traditions.
Stacy holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from SUNY Albany and a master’s in education from Adelphi University. Her background in psychology gives her a unique understanding of how children grow, build confidence, and form meaningful connections. Parents can feel confident knowing that under Stacy’s thoughtful leadership, Tranquillity is a safe, caring environment where every child is encouraged to cultivate talent from within, mentor others through leadership, and make unforgettable memories.
Stacy’s journey with Tranquillity didn’t end when her camper days were over. She has served on the Tranquillity Alumni & Friends Board of Directors for many years, including six as president. Her decades of teaching experience and leadership in the camp industry equip her to guide Tranquillity into its next chapter with vision and heart.
Her leadership reflects a profound commitment to honoring Tranquillity’s century-old traditions while embracing fresh ideas to meet the needs of today’s campers. Stacy is passionate about child development, mentorship, and fostering a sense of belonging. Her vision ensures that Tranquillity remains a place where youth can grow, connect, and create lifelong friendships.
For generations, Tranquillity Camp has been more than just a summer tradition—it’s been a cornerstone of childhood. Under Stacy’s guidance, it continues to be a home away from home, where children experience the best part of growing up.
