Summer Day Camp at Shorefront Y — Local services in New York

Shorefront Y Summer Day Camp exceeded all our expectations! The waterfront setting with certified instructors transformed our kids into confident swimmers with real water skills they’ll use for life.

The programming is exceptional—two field trips every week kept adventure levels high, while the well-chaperoned overnight trips were perfectly tailored to each age group. The staff’s attentiveness made every child feel seen and valued. Communication with parents was consistently timely and clear, and the drop-off/pickup process runs like clockwork—a blessing for busy families.

We were impressed by the spotless facilities and rigorous sun-safety protocols. Our child’s dietary restrictions were accommodated seamlessly, without any fuss or worry on our part.

Extended care deserves special praise—it’s genuinely engaging with structured activities and creative projects, not just kids waiting around for pickup. Given the waterfront access, quality of instruction, and breadth of programming, the prices are remarkably reasonable.

We’ve already secured our spot for next summer. For any parent seeking a camp that combines safety, fun, and genuine skill-building in a beautiful setting, we couldn’t recommend Shorefront Y more...

This is the most amazing summer camp EVER!! I’ve been with the Shorefront Y summer camp since I was about 8 years old. I made the most wonderful memories and friends here and I am still friends with them to this day. Children go on amazing trips, have extremely fun and educational activities, learn to swim, play different sports, have fun in a safe environment, and have amazing staff every year. I still remember my counselors from every year that I’ve attended this camp because they made my summer just that much better. I couldn’t wait for the school year to be over just so I can go back to camp. Shorefront continues this tradition on making unforgettable summers that children will remember for...

My daughter's have been in this camp for 5 years and this year was absolutely amazing. New Director, New trips, New rules. The change is absolutely a positive one. My Kids are in older and middle division. Both girls said that this year was less arcades and more outdoor activities which they both welcomed. This summer was very hot, and beach outings were very appropriate. Each group went to the beach 2 times a week. I enjoyed weekly news letter with updates and week ahead schedule, which was very good to know what day and which group went to the beach. Baking Challah on Friday's was always fun as well. My girls already looking forward...
