My kids LOVE this camp! The kids come home and are very excited to tell us all about the different experiences that they had during the day. My daughter loves their gymnastics classes and my son really enjoys the water sports. Both of my kids learned to swim at the camp pool. The staff, most of whom are teachers, are wonderful. We live in Manhattan and the door to door bus service is really convenient. I wish I had a place like this when I was a kid. Most importantly, I know my kids will have fun and be able to try new things in a safe and incredibly positive and inclusive environment.

We left a camp that was more expensive to come to Day Camp In The Park. For a better value my daughter is happier. The lake is beautiful with so many fun things to do on it! It is a floating amusement park! She loves the nature aspect of being in Harriman State park! So much natural beauty. The staff is so friendly and caring. They listen to your needs and accommodate any way they can. The staff is mostly teachers. I feel my daughter is safe and the counselors are knowledgeable. She comes home every day happy and is excited to tell us about her day. I highly recommend checking out this wonderful

This is what summer camp should be!
I sent two boys to Day Camp in the Park and they had such a great experience. The camp is located inside Harriman State Park at Lake Tiorati so my kids were really away from the city in the woods. The lakefront is amazing and my boys really learned how to swim. They loved the large inflated playground in the lake! The counselors took good care of my boys and they learned so many outdoor skills--boating, fishing, sports, woodworking. They came home every day, delivered via camp bus tired and happy--what more could a mom want? Highly recommend!
