Hey Everyone!
We're moving into the neighborhood in the next month or so and I need to find a summer camp for my son. He's 4 years old. He has a Dec. birthday, so this is his first year in preschool/camp. He won't be going to Kindergarten until NEXT year.
I'm looking for a 1/2 or 3/4 day camp for him. I've seen some mixed reviews on South Mountain Y, which would be really close to us. So, I'm just looking for honest feedback on the Y summer programs and any suggestions for other camps.
Feel free to PL me if you want.
Thanks for your help! |

Check out Camp Prospect, at Prospect Presbyterian Church. It is run by the Nursery School there. It is a half-day program, four or five days a week for most of the summer, but it won't provide complete coverage for childcare if that's what you need. Phone number is 973-763-8955.
Check the archives for lists of other preschools in the area ... I expect that many of them offer summer programs. |

The South Mountain YMCA has the "Y-knots" camp for kids that age...I think the main facility is full but there is probably room at the SO location. It's full-day, with swimming each day.
Both towns also have camps - in SO you sign up at Baird Center - it's a half day program.
Good luck & welcome! |

Your son would probably love Harbor Hills Day Camp www.hhdc.com. My son (5) and daughter (7) are going for the 2nd summer. Last year they went for all 8 weeks and loved it - they can't wait to go back!
My son was 4 last summer - they start there as young as 3 and have an early day option that ends, I think, at 2pm. My son went for the full day and although he sometimes fell asleep on the bus ride home, he just loved it. (They let you have the option of reverting to a shorter day option if you find your child doesn't handle the longer day well. Extremely flexible management and very customer-service oriented.)
I loved it too - not only b/c the kids had such a great time, but b/c the bus came at 8:05 and dropped off at 4:45-5:10 (depending on traffic). HHDC offers a full buffet of hot/cold lunch options daily and not having to make a lunch for the summer was a treat for me. Even my extremely picky-eater son enjoyed the lunch choices. |
