Since 1993, Rolling River Day Camp has operated as a seasonal summer camp in Nassau County that serves as an extension to a child's primary education. Our innovative camp program focuses on out-of-classroom learning experiences to develop socialization, cooperation and other intangible life skills.
Rolling River accomplishes this goal by creating an intimate, family atmosphere with substantial offerings of adult-supervised, recreational activities on a privately-owned, local campus. As one of the top day camps on Long Island, Rolling River provides superior customer service, with a consistent, approachable leadership team that partners with parents to satisfy a child's individual needs and goals.

It is with great pleasure that we acquaint you with Rolling River Day Camp! We have worked with extensive energy and passion to provide children with tangible life experiences in our second-generation, family-owned and operated summer camp and recreation center. At Rolling River, we strongly believe you can trace life-changing moments back to summer camp.
Our staff, who we affectionately call "The Crew", is the most important component in a camper's successful summer.

Rolling River offers a wide array of recreational activities on our meticulous, riverside campgrounds between the hours of 9:00am and 4:00pm. Our goal is to expose campers to a variety of traditional camp sports and arts programs in addition to premiere instruction in aquatics and boating.
All camp groups receive a weekly schedule of structured activities and as campers grow, they have more opportunity to customize their schedules through Hobbies and Choice Programs.

This maybe a bit lengthy as this rating is personal:
What I wish I knew then (If you have young children, my son was one month away from turning 3, I would urge you to really ask questions and consider your circumstances. As I thought I had)…
PROS: Camp activities correlate with the categorized age groups and the staff (majority are parents of enrolled campers- Family and family affiliates of the business) have a super-friendly demeanor and are very welcoming. One Lead Counselor, Donna was an absolute doll and my son really gravitated to her. I can tell he trusted her and depended on her based

This place is covid central. They didn’t reduce capacity this summer at all. They’re all in crowded spaces everyday with new covid cases every week. They also expect you to pay over $300 in tips because they can’t be bothered to pay their staff appropriately. I have a lot more to say about this place but I’ll leave it at that.

This was my daughter's first summer at camp. She was very excited. She had excellent counselors and group counselor. She made many new friends and learned to swim which was huge for her. The activities were great and the camp is beautifully maintained
I would highly recommend this camp to all my friends.
It was a perfect summer and she cannot wait till next year

Rolling River is a magical place that will fill your child's summer with memories to last a lifetime. Our son keeps asking why summer has to be so short. We are finishing our third summer here and know that Rolling River will be a part of our family for a long time to come! As a parent, it is also nice to have so many calendar options when enrolling your child. Check out Rolling River...you won't be disappointed!

This summer was our daughter's first summer at Rolling River Day Camp. She had the best summer ever! Madison looked forward to camp everyday. She made tons of friends and enjoyed every activity she participated in. Her counselors were amazing and made sure she enjoyed every minute of her first Rolling River experience. This was her first time riding a bus! Her bus driver and bus counselor were the BEST! From music on the bus to weekly contests - she would get so excited for the bus to come every morning! Her camp counselors were AMAZING and spoken about all day long! Our daughter would come home

My son will be finishing his 2nd year at Rolling River. It is the best place for a child to spend the summer. He is always happy to get on the bus in the morning. There are never any fights about going. His bus driver is amazing and plays "cool" music. My son was never interested in music until he started going to RR. Now he says all year long "Mommy that's my camp/bus song" and he is smiling from ear to ear. He has made great friends that we keep in touch with during the year. My sons swimming has improved so much that I now call him "The fish". All the activities at RR are fun and have taught

My son is entering his tenth year at Rolling River Day Camp and I wouldn't trade one year for any where else. He has made such great friends and can't wait each year for camp to start again. Rolling River is filled with lots of activities for all ages, from pebble playground to the pool to lots of sports and other great activities (ex: WII room, gymnastics,arts and crafts,cooking, yoga, etc). And of course all the great off campus trips.
