Morning Arrival
Campers are dropped off at camp between 8:40 and 9:05 AM. Our campuses feature valet arrival, so a Staff Member will greet you and your child at the car to check them in at our welcome area. Please follow the driving directions for your campus, and obey all posted traffic signs and instructions from camp Staff on site.
If you are arriving for extended hours, please follow the same procedure for dropping off your child during morning arrival. You will be asked to sign-in your child at the welcome area. Campers spend their time before the regular arrival window participating in a variety of supervised activities.
Absences
If your child is going to be absent from camp for any reason, please call or text your campus. Any unreported absences may be verified by phone by a Camp Director.
Morning Meeting
Our day begins with Campers and Counselors meeting up in their designated gathering space. Groups check-in, have their attendance taken, drop-off their lunch and personal gear, and discuss the day’s schedule, activities, event, or trip.
BREAKOUT!®
Once all of our groups are checked in, the Program Director shares the morning announcements, and then calls for volunteers to participate in our daily Breakout!® Challenge.
Campers or Staff Members represent their groups in a fun, high energy competition designed to get everyone excited for the camp day, with the winning group getting the privilege to be sent off to their first activity of the day ahead of the other groups.
Daily Schedule
Each of our Camper Programs follows their own daily schedule, including a variety of planned activities designed to provide Campers with a variety of physical, fun, creative, and artistic opportunities throughout the day.
Activities are 35 minutes, and they are balanced between indoor and outdoor spaces on campus. Some activities are offered on a daily basis, while others may be offered at various times during the week or summer.
Special Events, Theme Days, and Traditions
In addition to our amazing activities, Campers also look forward to a variety of special events, theme days, and traditions, which are scheduled on each campus’ calendar. These activities may be offered for one or more programs, based on the Campers’ age, ability and developmental level. Events, themes, and traditions are subject to change.
Off Campus
As Long Island’s neighborhood camp, we love venturing off campus to visit the amazing venues our island has to offer, including wonderful field trips to some of the most popular childhood destinations. Field trips are scheduled on each campus’ calendar, and are specific to each Camper Program, indicated by our trip icons. Groups travel off campus in chartered, air-conditioned school buses.
