The camp was founded in 1951 when the New York State Convention of Universalists purchased 9 acres (36,000 m2) of a "forever wild" peninsula on Beaver Lake (a part of the Beaver River flow) near the border of the Adirondack Park.[1][2] Unirondack is a member of the Council of Unitarian Universalist Camps & Conferences and serves the Saint Lawrence Unitarian Universalist District and the Metro New York City Unitarian Universalist District, as well as bordering regions, including Quebec, Ontario, Pennsylvania and Ohio.[3] Each UU church in the region has a liaison to the Camp Unirondack Board.[4]
