Wagon Road Summer Day Camp

The mission of our Summer Day Camp is to provide a quality day camp experience while bringing together a diverse group of children from Westchester County and New York City. With special programming, we seek to build relationships, understanding, and citizenship among our campers.

Our program is co-ed for children ages 6 to 13. Youngsters are placed in small groups according to age and gender, and are supervised by qualified counselors. The size of each group allows for full participation and for relationships to form among the campers.

The camp program features horsemanship, adventure ropes course activities, athletics, drama, dance, music, nature study, cooking, and arts & crafts. Trained and experienced staff supervise these activities. The Swimming program features free swim and swim instruction taught by Red Cross Certified Water Safety Instructors.

There are also performance days where campers develop performances around specific themes (TV Land, The World of Sports, Native American History). They work with the performance arts specialists to develop routines to perform for their peers. In addition there are special guest performers, an optional overnight, and a carnival that ends the season. As our campers come from different communities in NYC and Westchester, the camp provides a rich multicultural experience.

Staff
Counselors and Specialists are recruited from both NYC and Westchester. They are selected for their childcare, camp experience, special skills, and enthusiasm. They are supervised by experienced professionals who make up the camp’s administration. A full time registered nurse staffs our air-conditioned health center.

Transportation
Transportation from Manhattan and the Bronx is available by air-conditioned school buses. Pick-up locations are designated Children’s Aid Society Centers in Greenwich Village, the Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Harlem, Washington Heights, and South Bronx.
Westchester pick-up locations are designated after registration is complete.
