Specialties

Central Office Located at 407 10^th St, Brooklyn NY 11 215

Summer sunshine and healthy fun all summer long. Different activities daily, no two days alike.

We also offer Holiday Camps for school breaks.

We have been bringing children to Prospect Park, with trips in and around the Brooklyn area for over twenty-​five years. Children love the many daily activities & trips, with plenty of time left for imaginative play.

For our older, more focused campers there are three great specialized programs.

Parents enjoy our flexible weekly schedules and extended day options.

What to Bring: Each camper must bring daily a backpack with a lunch, snack, towel, sun Block lotion, and refillable water bottle and water shoes or flip flops. (Campers may not go barefoot in the sprinklers.)

Each camper will receive three camp shirts on their first day. Extra shirts are available for purchase. Shirts are to be worn each day. We get plenty dirty. Good clothes are not recommended…

History

Established in 2000.

At parents request, In 1984 Christine Altman put together a summer playgroup in Prospect Park. Each day this group of three through five year olds used their imaginations as we explored different areas of the Park. In thoughs days there were no fences around the woods. We would build with sticks, find tortises in the grass, cross streams on stones, catch frogs, play sports and games, read books, do art, get wet at the sprinklers, and play lots of sport games.

Park Slope spread the word and we continued to grow. Now older children joined and so did our activities. We now traveled outside the neighborhood utilizing the pools, museums, zoos, and fun places throughout the city.

Now we have grown into three divisions. We hire school buses to take us to many places around the city so that we can do it all. We have swim lessons, karate, gymnastics, sports, art and for 2^nd graders and up specialty choices in sports, theater, gymnastics, cooking, building and construction and hands on science
