While experimenting and problem-solving their way through the summer, kids are encouraged to make "awesome mistakes" and work as a team in order to build soft skills like resilience, inquisitiveness, and empathy. Everyday these increasingly critical dimensions are reinforced through creative art projects and team sports that are also tailored to the weekly theme.

Meanwhile, brains aren’t the only thing kept active at NORY. Thanks to partnerships with Physique Swimming and Soccer Super Stars, kids can choose between spending time in the pool or out on the field with the Swim & STEM or Soccer & STEM programs. If your child would prefer some more STEM with their STEM, you can sign ‘em up for the Robotics & Science program, where they’ll still get a daily outside playtime sesh.

The dads behind NORY haven’t forgotten about busy parents either. Campers can sign up for half day, full day, or extended day programs, offering just the right amount of coverage for your schedule. Healthy, organic lunches from Little Green Gourmets and convenient bussing from the Upper East Side, Brooklyn, and Long Island City also help to ease the morning scramble. Afterall, kids shouldn’t be the only ones who get a break during the summer.
