| Dear Friend, Your child sits in the same classroom for ten months of the year. Let
us make your child's summer a time of outdoor excitement, fascinating trips memorable
activities, and lasting friendships.
I have three children so I fully understand a parent's desire
to give a child the best and safest opportunities life has to offer. That's why we
have developed the Young People's program of activities. To expose your child to all
the places, experiences, and adventures that we, as parents, would like to offer our
children, but simply don't have the time to do ourselves.
I know it's a crazy world out there. That's why our
accreditation from the American Camping Association (ACA),and licensing from the NYC
Department of Health are so important. That's also why all activities are supervised by
licensed professionals, and assisted by college-age adults.
I'm committed to making this experience not only fun for your
child, but also worry-free for you. So committed, in fact, that I'm at camp every
single day of the summer to make sure that operations run to perfection, and that your
child has a special day.
I 'd love to share the personal touch with you! Take a
moment and give me a ring, or even drop in the office. Bring your children,
too.
Let me show you personally how we keep your children smiling.
Mr. DiGennaro
WHY IS YOUNG PEOPLE'S THE CAMP FOR MY CHILD?
New excitement every day. Young People's is a
non-traditional day camp. By this, we mean that your child will not stay at one
camp-site every day. Our carefully planned, diversified program exposes your child
to fun, adventure, competition, creativity, culture and wonderful learning
experiences.
WHAT WILL MY CHILD
EXPERIENCE?
A little bit of everything. The Bronx Zoo, New York
Aquarium, Statue of Liberty, New York Yankees, and Westbury Music Fair to name a
few. Not to mention daily outings to bowling alleys, mini-golf, batting cages,
roller skating rinks, and the movies (at our own private movie theater).
WILL MY CHILD
ENGAGE IN ANY TRADITIONAL CAMP ACTIVITIES?
Of course. Depending upon personal taste, your child can
choose from various organized activities each morning, including sports, arts-and crafts,
singing, dancing, hiking, karate, and participating in talent shows, contests and
scavenger hunts.
HOW ABOUT SWIMMING?
Definitely. Swimming consists of a three-pronged approach ,
1) Water safety and security
2) recreational swimming
3) Optional swimming instruction
Of course, all swimming is done in a private pool.
ARE THERE ANY
SPECIAL EVENTS?
Absolutely. The Young People's experience wouldn't be
complete without 2 trips to Adventureland amusement park, a clown, a visit from a trick
basketball team, several bar-b-ques, and new surprises every summer.
WILL MY CHILD GET
LOST -IN-THE-CROWD?
Never. Camp groups are small and personal, typically with 10
campers to each adult. All activities are age-appropriate. Younger and older
campers are scheduled separately for activities that require special supervision
(swimming, bowling, etc.).
ARE BOYS AND GIRLS
IN THE SAME GROUPS?
No. Camp groups are organized by age and gender (eight-year-old
boys; twelve-year-old girls, etc.). This allows us to provide appropriate
supervision for both boys and girls. Activities are coed; groups are separate.
WHAT DOES THE COST
COVER?
EVERYTHING! All expenses are included... all tickets for
movies, bowling, roller skating, and more; plus entrance fees for all trips and
events. Not to mention t-shirts, tote bags, banners, trophies, prizes, insurance,
and daily door-to-door transportation.
HOW DO I GET MY
CHILD TO CAMP?
No worries. For your peace-of mind and convenience, each day
the camp bus, driven by a licensed bus driver and supervised by a responsible bus
counselor will pick-up and drop-off your child in front of your home.
