Top Summer Camp Activities for Kids on Long Island (2026)

A standout example of a well-rounded Long Island summer camp experience is Camps ‘R’ Us, a family-owned and operated day camp serving local families since 1993. Campers can take part in a wide variety of 2026 summer activities, including swimming, water slides, foam parties, field trips, themed events, and sports designed to keep kids active and engaged all season long. 

With ACA accreditation, licensed and permitted programs, and a strong focus on safety, Camps ‘R’ Us offers an environment where children can build confidence, make friends, and enjoy age-appropriate activities that grow with them from early childhood through the teen years.

Exciting Summer Camp Activities That Keep Every Day Fresh

At Camps ‘R’ Us, every week brings something new, giving children fresh opportunities to learn, explore, and stay active while enjoying a summer full of variety, growth, and fun.

Creative, Social, and Theme-Day Favorites

Campers of all ages can look forward to themed experiences like Crazy Hair Day, Backyard Bash, silent disco events, team-building challenges, and a variety of other special celebrations that bring energy, creativity, and connection to every week.

Water Activities and Active Fun

Campers can cool off and stay active with water tag, water slides, foam parties, and swimming, along with memorable beach days at Sunken Meadow State Park. These water-filled experiences are often among the most anticipated parts of the summer, creating lasting memories and keeping kids excited to return year after year.

Field Trips Kids Look Forward To

Younger campers enjoy age-appropriate outings tailored to their interests, while older campers in the Explorers® program take part in more adventurous excursions to destinations like Adventureland, Dave & Buster’s, Topgolf, and Urban Air.

Each camper’s tuition includes two field trips, and throughout the summer, Camps ‘R’ Us also offers optional bonus trips across all programs, giving children even more chances to try new experiences, build friendships, and explore beyond the camp day. You can learn more on the Field Trips page.
