Typical 5T more toward modern yeshivish crowd, and some from bussing in neighborhoods like brooklyn. Counselors are same crowd.

It is a good day camp with more outdoor space/grounds/fields than typical of day camps.

Counselors/campers come in from Queens too.

If you have any questions - ask. I've got a family member who works there, will try to find out answers for you.

It is late, but that’s what it is.

Sorry for the confusion - this is what I get for going based on my memory vs asking before posting!

If you need to go away for Shabbos you may be able to pick up your child from camp at dismissal time instead of waiting for them to get home.

It’s a fantastic camp!
My son is going this year for the 3rd year and we have been very happy. I have picked him up early on a Friday (all dismissal changes need to be in by a certain time) and also on a weekday. They have impressive grounds and activities.
