A regular camp day follows a similar day of school. We have periods consisting of STEM, outdoor activities, arts and crafts, dance/theater, game room, movie room, computers and special events.

We follow NYC DOH ratio guidelines, the are different requirements for age groups however, we alway overstaffed and have a 5-6 camper per counselor ratio.

As part of the registration process we ask that you inform us if your child has any allergies or medical concerns. Our nurse will make sure all Epi Pens, medication..etc are properly cared for. While we are not a peanut free facility, we do have a separate lunch section in the back of our cafeteria for allergy needs.

No. You provide lunch, snacks and drinks for your campers. We have water stations located around the campus.

We do not have a pool so there the campers do not go swimming. However we do have water activities, including inflatable water slides...etc. Campers come dressed in their bathing suits and all water activities are done in the afternoon. Campers do not get changed at camp. At the end of the activities, the campers towel dry and get ready for pick up.

All campers are grouped with the grade they will be entering in the fall and classes are not co-ed. Grades are not mixed from Kindergarten through 5th grade. We do mix grades in grade 6th through 8th. For example in each grade we will have two groups:

A 2nd Grade Girls class and a 2nd Grade Boys class.

6th -8th Grade Girls Class and 6th to 8th Grade Boys Class

In the event that we need to create more than one class in an age group, we will reach out to ensure that friends are in the same class.

We start accepting campers who are turning 4 and entering Pre K 4 at the start of the school year in September following camp. The must be potty trained.
