Frequently asked questions

What is the best arts summer camp near New York City?

Usdan Summer Camp for the Arts in Wheatley Heights is the standout — a 140-acre campus with music, art, theater, dance and creative writing, drawing families from both Long Island and the city.

Which day camps serve Westchester families?

Breezemont Day Camp in Armonk (ages 3–14), Mohawk Day Camp in White Plains (twice-daily swim instruction) and Camp Ramaquois in Pomona (pools, waterslides, zip line, 40+ activities) are the long-running Westchester options in our launch set.

Which day camps serve Long Island's North Shore?

Park Shore Country Day Camp in Dix Hills (water park, sports academies, circus arts) and Crestwood Country Day in Melville (swim, tennis, arts, ages 2–14) are the closest full-service day camps to the North Shore towns.

When should we register for summer camp?

Most Westchester and Long Island day camps open registration the previous fall and the popular age groups fill by late winter, so January–February is the safe window. Check each camp's own site for current dates.
