Summer Camp Guide For Kids in Beacon and the Hudson Valley
Last Updated: 5/7//2024
With the Hudson Valley and Beacon in particular being so rich in the arts, agriculture and a great outdoors scene, options for summer day camps are plentiful. Most camps offer weekly themes with daily projects and activities that reinforce each theme. You can definitely give your child a well-rounded summer that not only keeps them entertained, but very busy. Age groups and times vary among the summer camps. Several camps are offering early drop-off and late pickup for working parents, or for families with more than one child going to different camps. The tough part will be making a decision from among the themes and committing! The good news is, you don't have to choose just one. Use this Summer Day Camp Guide to mix and match for your family's schedule.
PREPARE YOURSELF:
You’ll need the following for most camps:
• Medical forms
• Packed lunch (Have fun with lunch boxes! Play has a bunch of cute metal ones (Echo, Beacon Natural Market and Utensil have reusable bags and/or organizational items.)
• Water shoes
• Bathing suit and towel
• Sunscreen
• A big bag to pack all of this stuff in
This Guide starts with summer day camps that offer sessions with the most hours per day, followed by niche camps with shorter days.
