Camp Gnarly

Stepping into the thrill-filled world of Camp Gnarly takes us back to a time when adrenaline rushes were a part of everyday summer fun. Founded in 2019, this trailblazing adventure camp offers a chance for kids to reclaim the joys of outdoor exploration, all within the heart of bustling NYC. Considered the city's only Whole Child Adventure Summer Day Camp, their philosophy navigates beyond standard routines, preferring instead to engage in a spirit of exhilarating discovery. Their formula isn't locked away in a dusty vault; on the contrary, it’s straightforward and revolves around three key components: supporting camper autonomy, promoting learning through an integrated curriculum, and fostering an inclusive environment that recognizes the value of each child. The summer hums with activities chosen by the little campers themselves. The camp staff treat kids' ideas as nuggets of gold, preserving them not just for posterity, but as fuel for lively summer days ahead. The magic of Camp Gnarly is ensnared in their commitment to bring these childhood imaginings to life. As parents, we aim to ensure our children experience a summer that's brimming with joy, each memory treasured like a pressed flower. With Camp Gnarly, every day is an unforgettable chapter in their childhood, ingeniously designed by the children themselves. It's more than a summer camp; it's a kid's paradise unleashed in the cityscape.
