It’s Time to Solve Summer 2020 for Your Kids

Summer 2020!

It might seem early to start thinking about camp, but with the holidays right on the horizon, it will be summer before you know it! We’ve got the perfect way to get on top of summer 2020 camp research now: by attending one of New York Family’s Camp Fairs, held at convenient locations all over the city.

Our Camp Fairs are totally *FREE* events that gather dozens of the best day, sleep-away and specialty camps straight to parents, allowing you to have one-on-one convos with camp directors. You can ask Directors in person about their camp philosophy, program information, dates, session lengths, and most importantly, whether their camp will be the best fit for your kid. Our two Camp Fairs in January will be held on the Upper East and Upper West sides. Registration is encouraged as places are limited.

Upcoming Camp Fairs:
Saturday, February 8th at PS29 in Cobble Hill, 12pm – 3pm
Sunday, February 9th at Congregation Beth Elohim in Park Slope, 12pm – 3pm
