| 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.
