6 Top Long Island Day Camps for Toddlers Through Teens

With five summer camps, Sid Jacobson JCC offers camp experiences for children, teen and young adults of all interests and stages.

3/4/18 - By Jessica Laird

From zip lining and miniature golf to preschooler programs and STEM classes, it kind of seems like day camps have got it all here in Long Island!

Traditional camps offer an all around experience with favorites like the boating, hiking, and arts and crafts we remember from our own summer camp days, but they're also adding robotics and heated swimming pools to the mix (not bad, right?). Meanwhile, specialty camps are giving kids the chance to focus on some of their favorite activities, like ballet, ice skating, and even cake baking.

With mini-day and full-day options for kids ages 18 months to 21 years, including parent and child programs and camps for those with special needs, there's truly something for everyone. Take a look at some of our most activity-filled picks, and browse our Long Island Camp Guide for more ideas.
