Summer Camp 2024.2
2024 ROCKIN' THE SUMMER AT GREENVALE DAY CAMP!

 


Our popular day camp program offers a quality, structured program at an affordable price.  Activities include Crafts, Games, Sports, Brain Games, Science, Self-Esteem Building, Nature Activities, Performing Arts, and more.   

Greenvale Day Camp is an outdoor camp for campers ages 5 (having completed Kindergarten) -15. It is  held at Greenvale Park, 2260 New Hackensack Rd.   
We offer seven weekly sessions beginning Monday, July 1, 2023. You can register for all seven weeks or just the weeks you would like. Each week will have a different weekly theme for your children to enjoy. 

Camp hours are from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Extended care hours are available from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. 

5 year olds must supply proof of having attended Kindergarten: Report Card copies for 5 year olds must be submitted the Recreation Dept., prior to camp starting, at
1 Overocker Rd. Level 1, Poughkeepsie, NY 12603 or to Rec@Townofpoughkeepsie-ny.gov




We have specially designed activities for teens, also referred to as "Senior Camper" activities for campers who are 12 and older. The activities will include some of our basic program areas (Sports, Science, Weekly Theme and Brain Games) as well as activities geared towards learning and practicing other life skills. This will include job preparation skills and money management skills. Participants will also work as "buddies" with our younger campers for part of the day. Senior Campers will also take part in off-site trips. Past trips have included bowling, Adventure Escape Rooms, Sharpe Bounce, and more.

For the younger campers we have special event days with visitors such as a petting zoo, Be Big Be Brave Project, yoga sessions, and more.

See what a typical camp day looks like in the Sample Daily Schedule below.


Our staff is
 carefully selected, trained, and motivated to offer the best camp experience for your child.  The Staff to Camper ratio does not exceed 1:10.

Camp takes place outdoors rain or shine. Occasionally we have the indoor use of Nassau Elementary School, but this is not guaranteed.

You will find more details in our camp "Welcome Packet" when you register.

OPTIONAL CIT TRAINING PROGRAM

CIT PROGRAM TRAINING FOR 15 YEAR OLDS only
JR. CIT PROGRAM TRAINING FOR 14 YEAR OLDS only

If you have a child who is 14 or 15 years old, they can register for camp at a discounted rate and take part in our Counselor in Training (CIT) program. A CIT and Jr. CIT will act as an assistant to the Camp Counselors while being trained to become a counselor at the age of 16. This is a rewarding position for those who like to work with children. Being a camp counselor, starting at age 16, is a great experience and it is a position they can come back to once they are in college and returning home for summer employment. The CIT program is designed for campers who want to become counselors at age 16. The CIT and Jr. CIT program is not an employment position nor is it a guarantee of future employment. CIT applicants are interviewed before being selected. 

CITs can choose one of two sessions or both sessions. Sessions are:

July 1 - July 26
July 29 - August 16

Select only the session(s) that are designated for CITs. You do not need to choose the weekly dates listed for campers. 

CITs and Jr. CITs must fill out all of the forms and submit immunization records. 


**To Register fo the CIT Program scroll to the bottom of this page. Register only for the CIT or Jr. CIT sessions of your choice. You do not need to register for each individual week.
