Does Your Child Have Summer Plans? The Last Camp Fairs Are Coming Up

Are you looking for a summer camp for your child? After introducing thousands of local families to day camps and sleepaway camps, we will soon be hosting the final two Camp Fairs of the season, coming up on Saturday, April 9 (Upper East Side) and Sunday, April 10 (Upper West Side).

The fairs are informative, free, and fun for the whole family. Sponsored with the American Camp Association-NY/NJ.

Interested? Click HERE to pre-register for the Camp Fair that is most convenient for you and your family.

The Camp Fairs (the largest in NYC) offer families the unprecedented opportunity to speak with a big host of camp directors and get essential questions answered: What kinds of camps are right for my child? Should my child go to day camp in the city or out of the city? Is my child ready for sleepaway camp? Should we look at general camps or specialty camps?

The April Camp Fairs will be held as follows:

Saturday, April 9 at St. Jean Baptiste High School on the Upper East Side (167 East 75th Street)–12-3pm

Sunday, April 10 at Congregation Rodeph Sholom on the Upper West Side (7 West 83rd Street)–12-3pm

Center for Architecture Summer Programs

Summer Programs give curious kids an opportunity to dive into an architectural topic of interest and test out their own design ideas. Each program explores a different theme through art and building activities, design challenges, guided investigations of architectural examples, and special site visits. Summer Programs are week-long classes, Monday &ndash; Friday, for students entering grades 3-5, 6-8, or 9-12 in Fall 2023.

Ghostlight Theater Camp

Ghostlight Theater Camp is a summer theater camp for campers ages 9-17. Providing 10-day, 3-week, and 6-week programs that combine high-caliber theater training with a traditional summer camp experience.&nbsp; Working with Broadway artists both in classes and in productions, campers will have access to skill development, mentorships, and lifelong connections that will follow them beyond camp. Ghostlight focuses on ensemble theatre values and practicies that support individuality and self-expression in the context of community. This means that no camper at Ghostlight is in the back row or sitting on the side. Each day brings multiple opportunities to perform and create with fellow campers in an environment filled with support.&nbsp; When not making theater, campers can enjoy the benefits of a summer camp in Maine that no other theater camp offers. Stargazing in a hammock, walks in the woods, downtime by the pool, and quiet time reading in the Gazebos with the sound of wind all around are some of highlights of a summer unplugged and away from screens.&nbsp; Finally, the most meaningful and lasting gift of a summer at Ghostlight is the friendships made that last a lifetime. Though the love of theater brings us together, and the work we do stands out from other experiences, the community focus of Ghostlight Theater Camp is why we hear, year after year, that campers cannot wait to return.&nbsp;
