Welcome To Our Campgrounds!

Hello Camp Families!

Thank you so much for all of the emails that we have been receiving! We love hearing from you!

With camp right around the corner (Jr. Camp & Explorers opens in just 53 days!), we are hard at work getting ready for our 2013 season; which is sure to be our best ever! 

This week we were so excited to give you a tour of our beautiful Henry Kaufmann Campgrounds (or HKC as we know it), located in Wheatley Heights. Our Junior campers (Kindergarten – 4^th grade) spend their days here for the majority of the summer, and our Explorers (5^th & 6^th graders) enjoy the grounds a few days a week in between traveling.  Nestled in the woods of Long Island, our HKC amenities allow campers to experience a real “sleepaway camp” feeling while staying in a day camp setting.  It is a place full of the wonder of nature; the perfect setting for your child to explore, imagine, and create memories to last a lifetime!

Some of the amenities at HKC (Henry Kaufmann Campgrounds) include:

·      4 swimming pools - including a water slide - for every level of swimmer to enjoy.

·      Professionally sculpted ball fields, including soccer, baseball, volleyball and basketball.

·      Extreme ropes course featuring a woods-based zipline - perfect for learning team-building skills as well as working towards personal goals.

·      Hiking trails in a completely natural setting.

·      Gaga courts (everyone's favorite!).

·      Brand new, state of the art indoor sports facility for rainy days.

·      TEVA program – exciting nature and environment projects for a new generation.

·      Outdoor amphitheater for morning round-up, as well as special events and shows throughout the summer.

·      Driving range and mini-golf course for any size camper!

·      Arts & crafts center for campers to explore their creative side.

…………… and so much more!
