While summer and warm weather may feel like a lifetime away, it's not too early to start exploring summer camp options. New Jersey is home to awesome summer day camps that offer a wide variety of activities within one campground. Traditional offerings at these camps include sports, swimming, and arts, while unique selections include zip lines, laser tag, cooking, gymnastics, and rope courses.

While these all-encompassing camps are quite large, many offer great counselor-to-camper ratios with additional support from adults for younger groups. Most camps are taking added safety precautions for the summer of 2021, including masks and small groups.

Read on for the top summer day camps in New Jersey, many of which have had entire generations of families pass through.
