Summer is just around the corner, and now your child
can enjoy the same enriching activities that country day camps offer
without the stress of traveling out of the city every day on a bus. Our
summer camp,
located in the heart of New York City, combines
a daily program at our facilities, which are downtown Manhattan’s best, with
special events to give your child an exciting and varied camp experience.
Now in our 18th summer, the Downtown Day Camp
is simply the most enjoyable summer experience available - and all in a nearby,
safe, caring environment. Our returning camp
director Russ Schulman, has worked with children in
downtown Manhattan for the last two decades.
Our new Downtown Community Center will be open for camp this summer! With its
brand new swimming pool, art rooms, multi-media lab, dance studio, small gym,
theater, classrooms and more, the Downtown Community Center will provide
Downtown Day Camp with a whole new level of age-appropriate activities. These
activities will be complimented by our returning field and gym sports, karate,
musical performances, pier barbecues, camp carnival and other special events.
Thanks to our new facility, enhanced programming, and friendly, familiar staff,
we expect 2008 to be our best summer yet!
The Downtown Day Camp is interested in much more than
providing a variety of fun and enriching activities for our campers. We are
concerned with the social, emotional, and personal growth of each child we care
for. This philosophy permeates our entire camp family, and all aspects of our
program. The children are grouped by grade and you may choose who your child is
grouped with. Throughout
the entire summer, the campers and counselors within your child’s group are
supervised by one of our Team Leaders. Team Leaders are
experienced teachers, pre-school owners, assistant elementary school principals,
and deans. Any and all needs that your child has may be personally addressed and
managed by one of these extremely competent and experienced professionals. This
is a level of supervision that clearly expresses our commitment to the personal
needs of your child. Our head counselors are all college students or graduates.
We
use high achieving and motivated high school students as assistants. In
addition, we
have a full-time registered nurse on duty.
Please note that we are one of the few summer c amps with an extended season for
working parents and for children who want an extra week of fun. Our camp day is
from 9 to 5, but we offer early and late hours as
well, from 8-9 AM and from 5-6 PM. With convenient sessions, caring
staff, and fantastic facilities, it's no wonder why campers keep coming back for
more each summer!
In addition to our regular camp sessions, this summer we have an "Add On
Week." The Add On Week is an extra week of fun that is held Exclusively at the
Downtown Community Center. There is no bus service for this week, and enrollment
is extremely limited.
