Mount Vernon Hotel Museum & Garden offers Winter Break Virtual History Days and  Summer History Weeks to allow children to travel back in time and explore 19th-century New York City with historic crafts and games, old-fashioned cooking, scavenger hunts, and Museum tours. Hands-on workshops look at the art, science, technology, music, and theater of the time. Choose individual days or a full week.

Participants in virtual programs will receive a box of supplies so that art, craft, and science workshops can proceed as planned, and historic cooking will utilize common ingredients at home.

Located just 90 miles from New York City, Iroquois Springs is the site of the finest in sleep away camp experiences for girls and boys since 1931. Owned and directed by Mark and Laura Newfield, Iroquois Springs is simply an extraordinary place for children!

At Iroquois Springs children build confidence, life-long friendships, and find new and exciting challenges that stimulate their minds as well as their bodies. But the real magic of Iroquois Springs lies in its people - the administration and staff, the campers and alumni.

Choosing a camp for your child can be a difficult decision. The warm, nurturing, family atmosphere that the camp provides has been a key factor in many families choosing Iroquois Springs.

At Iroquois Springs, the emphasis is always on participation, effort and attitude! We think that camp is that rare place where a child can be a winner. Iroquois Springs provides campers the opportunity to become part of a family, where they can take healthy risks, get rewarded for successes, and develop self-esteem and life skills. So whether a camper's thing is sports, arts, hiking, or a little bit of everything, each and every camper at Iroquois Springs can find his or her place in the sun.

As a parent, you want your child to have growth-filled opportunities, healthy habits, and lifelong friendships. We partner with families to do exactly that. More than a place to cool off, our lake is where children learn to swim for the first time or share a canoe with a new friend. Our zipline isn’t a ride, but a safe place for teens to find courage they never knew they had. And our cabins provide more than shelter; they’re a space for a community to grow. Our traditional summer camp is rooted in 100+ years of rich heritage. Campers age 7-16 come for 1, 2, or 4 weeks and leave us with strengthened characters. Bear Grylls Survival Camp is Frost Valley's new addition, which gives campers age 12-15 the experience of undergoing a simulated (yet no less extreme!) survival scenario! Adventure Trips are great for outdoor-loving teens. Options include sailing, backpacking, canoeing, climbing, and service trips with Habitat for Humanity. 

No other summer program offers as many face-to-face encounters to closely observe and study whales, dolphins, porpoises, seals and puffins in their natural habitat. Board our 65 foot sailboat for unmatched examinations of marine life. Help collect data to document whale distribution, feeding patterns and behaviors. Through direct observation, scientific data collection and hands-on experience with marine science equipment, The Whale Camp is the place where exploration & inspiration abound. Here on stunningly beautiful Grand Manan Island the learning is a fun, hands-on adventure. While some programs teach about marine science with boring classroom based activities, we take you to sea three days each week to directly encounter whales and other marine life for the best marine science experience. We celebrate nature’s grandeur, beauty, serenity and power and help you discover these qualities in yourself.

French Woods offers summer camp programs in dance, theater, music, circus, magic, visual arts, film and video, sports, tennis, fitness, waterfront, skate board, rock and roll and horseback riding. We cater to children from 7-17 years old.

Each camper designs his or her own unique summer experience. We feature world-class programs coached by diverse, multi-national and talented counselor and adult staff members. Campers are able to focus on one particular area of interest, or they may choose to select a variety of our activities. Although we are a dance camp, theater camp, music camp, circus camp, magic camp, visual arts camp, film and video camp, sports camp, tennis camp, fitness camp, waterfront camp, skate board camp, rock and roll camp and horseback riding camp.
