Camp Henry Day Camp, was named one of the city's best summer camps (last year's article) by Time Out New York Kids, offers a wide range of educational and recreational enrichment activities for children ages four-and-a-half to 13. Campers enjoy daily activities such as arts and crafts, music, drama, sports and swimming. The campers have trips around New York City and the tri-state area, including visits to museums and amusement parks, bowling alleys and other interactive sites. Staffed by a team of committed counselors and instructors, many of whom serve as group leaders in our After-School Programs during the school year, Camp Henry fosters self-esteem, respect for others and an appreciation of the arts. The camp is licensed by the Department of Health and accredited by the American Camping Association. Financial aid is available on a sliding scale for eligible families. Camp Henry runs for six weeks, from July 7, 2014 to August 15, 2014.

Sports Champs, Los Angeles’ premiere multi-platform sports camp, was developed by local and national top-tier coaches for children ages 4-12 to give campers the cutting edge when it comes to playing team sports in Southern California and beyond. Sports Champs is also the one and only LA sports day camp to include lessons that introduce Sports Production, Sports Broadcasting, Sports Medicine, and Sports Management. Every child has the ability to be a Sports Star in different arenas of this industry! Due to our small camper to counselor ratio, we are able to work on each child’s individual abilities, as they learn basic drills and skills to take home and practice with friends and family to prepare them for the upcoming sports season. Organic and Non-organic meal options are available. Our sister camp at the same locations is The Funky Diva and Dudes dance and performing arts camp, see www.Funkydivasanddudes.com.
