Overview
Shining brightly in the Tri-State area is the much-beloved Deer Mountain Day Camp, a trusted stalwart among family favourites. Since sprouting roots in 1956, this venerable institution has been charming families with its distinctive blend of fun, outdoor adventure, and learning. Tucked conveniently close to the George Washington and Tappan Zee bridges, the camp sprawls across a 25-acre mountainside oasis, completed by a spring-fed lake - an idyllic spot for indelible summer memories.
Boasting a colorful roster of activities, Deer Mountain presents a tempting spread suitable for the wide age range of 3-15 years. Whether it's the thrill of scoring a homerun or a slam dunk, casting a line for fishing, navigating a sailing course, or conducting a symphony of splashes in swimming, the camp delivers a vibrant, vivid summer palette for every child. For the more adventurous, there's a dash of outdoor adventure camps, a heaping scoop of creative arts, and a sprinkle of lively special events. It truly is a smorgasbord to satiate even the most discerning youthful appetite.
Behind the scenes, a formidable team of remunerated teachers and educational gurus are at the helm, meticulously weaving together programs of age-appropriate ingredients to concoct an unforgettable summer experience. Thus, it's no mystery why Deer Mountain campers consistently echo the verdict of having "the best summer ever".
The crowning jewel is, perhaps, the profound sense of family at Deer Mountain Day Camp, which has remained a cherished family-run venture since its inception, now onto its second generation of leadership. This perfectly encapsulates their core commitment to fostering a nurturing, welcoming space for children to explore, grow, and thrive during their summer escapades. And isn't that, after all, precisely what treasures childhood summers should be chock-full of?
