Summer memories last a lifetime, especially when they’re filled with friendship, adventure, and discovery. At Camps ‘R’ Us, we’ve spent over 30 years creating extraordinary summer experiences for Long Island families. With convenient locations across Nassau and Suffolk counties, we make it easy for your child to enjoy an amazing camp experience right in your neighborhood.
Whether you’re exploring summer camp options or have already joined our camp family, we know you’re curious about what your child’s day will look like. Here’s an inside look at a typical day at Camps ‘R’ Us.
Start the Day Right
Your day begins with our seamless curbside drop-off between 8:40 and 9:05 a.m. Need an earlier start? Our pre-camp program welcomes early arrivals with engaging activities. Our experienced counselors greet each child at your car with a warm smile, setting a positive tone for the day ahead.
Morning Energy
We kick off each day with our signature “breakout” challenge – an energetic group activity that gets minds and bodies moving. These creative challenges foster teamwork and problem-solving skills, with the winning team earning first pick of morning activities.
Adventures in Learning and Play
Your child’s day unfolds through carefully planned 35-minute activity periods, thoughtfully designed to maintain engagement and excitement. Our diverse program includes:
- Sports that build confidence and teamwork
- Creative arts and crafts projects
- High-energy dance and movement
- Hands-on STEAM exploration
- Special events like our popular inflatable courses
- Arcade time for social gaming fun
- Culinary creativity through edible art
Lunchtime Refresh
Campers enjoy their packed lunches in air-conditioned comfort – all lunches are kept refrigerated throughout the morning. On special field trip days, lunch purchases may be available at select venues.
Traditions That Create Memories
Summer camp is all about creating traditions that children cherish. Throughout the season, your child might:
- Star in a camp production
- Showcase talents in our variety show
- Create wearable art in our tie-dye festival
- Compete in our legendary color war
- Race in the pinewood derby
- Explore Long Island’s best attractions on field trips
Cool Down with Treats
We keep energy levels high with two daily snack breaks. Morning snack includes packaged favorites like crackers and cookies, while afternoon brings a cool surprise – ice pops or ice cream treats perfect for hot summer days. Our Tiny Tots® campers can take their snacks home if they depart early.
Heading Home
Between 4 and 5 p.m., our supervised curbside pickup ensures a safe and efficient departure. Just like drop-off, our staff verifies approved guardians and personally escorts each child to their car. Need flexibility? Our on-demand extended day program keeps the fun going until you arrive.
