Why Camp Friedberg?


View this week's video here

Hello again!  Welcome to Camp Friedberg!

Thank you all so much for submitting your questions to us!  Today we have a question from a parent of a 7 year old, who writes, “I’m interested in sending my daughter to day camp this summer and am exploring my options.  Why choose Camp Friedberg?”

What a great question! There are so many reasons to choose Camp Friedberg...
  • We have been in the camping business for over 50 years and are the experts when it comes to the very best practices in summer camping.  We provide more than 10 different camp divisions that let you choose the one that fits your child’s needs and interests.  You can choose the weeks you want to fit your family’s lifestyle and budget. 
  • Your 7 year old will be part of our Junior division for children going into grades K to 4.  Both our Junior and Explorer (grades 5-6) Divisions enjoy days at the beautiful Henry Kaufmann Campgrounds in Wheatley Heights, nestled in the woods of Long Island, where campers enjoy a true camp experience. (We provide round trip bus transportation.) Here they will experience the great outdoors, merging the feeling of a classic camp with new, modern programming. Lifetime memories and lasting friendships are guaranteed!
  • Even if your child is not at our Campgrounds, each of our camp divisions is beyond special. Our little ones in Preschool are given a camp designed specifically for them. Unlike other big-kid camps that water down programming for younger ages, our Preschoolers experience only programing put together with them in mind! Our older campers in our Voyagers Division have the opportunity to travel every day, including big trips to Virginia and.. Walt Disney World! We know you will be thrilled knowing that your pre-teen is experiencing new things every day while still under the supervision of the same team of staff that you know and trust. Speaking of which... 
  • Our staff is the very best! ….. nurturing, mature, experienced professionals who LOVE camp!  Many were campers themselves here at Camp Friedberg, and they can't wait to help create the memories they themselves made as children for a new generation of campers.
  • And if that's not enough, our programming is new and exciting for 2013!  In addition to 4 pools, zipline, ropes course, gaga, and professionally crafted fields, this summer Camp Friedberg is offering Extreme Specialties, including Gymnastics, Soccer, Tennis, Artistic Design and so much more!  Campers will choose the specialty they want to participate in the week ahead. We can't wait to see what they choose!
 
We hope this answers your question! As always, please feel free to contact us for more information at amarkinson@friedbergjcc.org or 634-4175. Stay tuned every week as we get closer to summer, check our website and Facebook, and please keep your questions coming!

Our first Open House at the Henry Kaufmann Campgrounds is SUNDAY, MAY 19TH FROM 11AM-2PM.  More information to follow.

 We look forward to seeing you there!

Until next time,
Alice and Paula
