Purchase Day Camp, Purchase NY

**Open house March 3rd from 11am-2pm**

We know there are so many programs to consider so THANK YOU for taking a look at Purchase Day Camp, but we’re not a camp for everyone. We’re not focused on a single sport or activity.  We are laser focused on your child.  We provide a broad based program with sensitive, enthusiastic and encouraging staff who get to know each camper as an individual. We’re proud of the atmosphere we’ve nurtured where every camper and counselor is part of one big family. If you are looking for a community for your child to grow in then, YOU FOUND IT!

Campers are organized into groups by age and gender and typically have 20 campers and 5 counselors. Certified teachers act as TEAM Leaders for each group and are supported by college students and high school upper classmen.

Our specialty activities are also lead by certified teachers. This means that you have two teachers and four other counselors with a group of 20 campers at most activities. No other camp provides that quantity or quality of supervision.

Details: Ages 3-15.  Children get to swim twice a day in one of the camp’s four pools at Camp Purchase, as well as spend time on the sports fields, in the science area or on the 18-hole mini-golf course. There’s also an indoor activity area with a rocketry lab, dance auditorium and woodworking shop, to name just a few of the facilities. Door-to-door transportation is available for Purchase, West Harrison, Rye Brook, Harrison, Port Chester, Rye and White Plains.

Although we market the camps with our brother camp for boys, Camp Awosting, it is a separate campus 7 miles away on a different lake. We pride ourselves on a program where the girls are able to be themselves and don’t have to worry about the pressures created in a co-ed camp environment. We also feel that some interaction is beneficial, so there are multiple opportunities for the boys and girls to get together for activity exchanges, dances and off-camp trips. Add to that a first-rate staff focused on safety and ensuring campers make the most of their summer and you have a recipe for one amazing summer!

Camp Sloane YMCA, Lakeville CT

(1hr 30 from Harrison) Sending your child to summer camp will be one of the most important choices you will ever make for them. They will gain life skills here they could not be taught as well any where else: communication, collaboration, problem solving and much more. So naturally the second most important choice you will make will be which summer camp you send them to. Here is why we believe Camp Sloane is the best summer camp in the world and why you should choose us for your campers this summer!
