When kids look back on their summer, it usually isn’t the routine hours they remember most. It’s the standout moments. At Camps ‘R’ Us, we’ve found that while a steady daily rhythm gives kids comfort, summer camp special events turn a great day into one they talk about for years. We plan these moments on purpose, because since 1993, we’ve believed real camp memories come from doing something out of the ordinary together.
What Are Special Events at Summer Camp?
At a day camp like Camps ‘R’ Us, special events are planned, all-camp experiences that go beyond our regular curriculum. They aren’t “extras” tacked on at the end of the day; they’re built into the calendar and designed to include every age group, from our youngest Tiny Tots® to our Explorers®. Whether it’s a themed day or a live performance on campus, our staff plans and supervise every event with the same care that more than 2,000 Long Island families have trusted us with every summer.
Favorite Special Events Kids Look Forward To
Our calendar is packed with summer camp events that camper’s countdown to all season. Foam Parties are a perennial favorite. Kids splash and play in a sea of bubbles, a fun way to cool off outdoors on campus. For campers who love music, our silent disco kids’ sessions are a unique way to dance and sing along with friends. And our Talent Shows give every camper who wants one a stage for creativity and self-expression. Each event is built to be age-appropriate, so your child is in the mix at a level that’s right for them.
How Special Events Build Confidence & Community
Beyond the laughter and the music, these events do something more important: they help kids grow. As an ACA-accredited camp, we plan our programming around the standards the field considers best practice for safety and youth development. When a camper performs in a talent show or jumps into a group challenge, they quietly build confidence in a setting where it’s safe to try something new. Younger kids feel a real sense of belonging when they join the campus-wide festivities, and older campers find chances to step up and lead. With our counselors close by, the friendships kids make in those moments often last well beyond the summer.
Why Special Events Are Central to the Camps ‘R’ Us Experience
The Camps ‘R’ Us philosophy is simple: a high-quality camp experience without the high price tag. We’re Long Island’s most affordable private day camp, and our special events are a big part of what makes camp feel like camp. We plan every celebration with the same attention to safety and structure as the rest of our day, so parents can relax while their kids are having the time of their lives. From everyday activities to our biggest campus-wide events, we’re committed to making everyday count at all 9 of our locations.
