Where can you find a sleep-away style camping experience, with all the fun adventures, sports, arts and swimming – and still sleep in your own bed every night? All you have to do is ask three generations of kids from Manhattan, Rockland, Bergen, Orange, Hoboken and Montclair: the family-owned Deerkill Day Camp, which has served local Bergen County families for over 40 years, celebrates its 59th season this year.
Located on 15 spectacular wooded acres, Deerkill offers a delightful community feel to the summer camp experience for campers age 3 through 14, and daily door-to-door transportation on mini air-conditioned buses, staffed with professional drivers and bus counselors, gets campers to Deerkill and back in style.
Deerkill’s diverse program includes professional swim instruction in large heated pools, an array of athletics on fields sized for younger and older children, adventure course challenges on their climbing tower and zipline; creative and performing arts such as arts and crafts, ceramics, woodworking, dance, theater, and digital photography; and specialties such as karate and nature. Each individual group is led by college graduates, typically a teacher, which means the person who is directly responsible for leading your child throughout the day is always an adult. This is your chance for your child to get excited about a new sport or hobby, learn valuable leadership and teamwork skills, and form lifelong friendships!
With the exception of horseback riding (an optional elective) there are no extra charges at Deerkill, including tipping, which can become a large expense at many camps.
Your Day Camp tuition includes all the following:
• Family weekend pool club at no additional cost. Every Saturday and Sunday from 12-5 plus Monday July 4th. Open Saturday June 25 to Sunday August 14.
• Door-to-door transportation by air-conditioned mini-buses supervised by bus counselors
• Hot lunches prepared daily in our own modern kitchen
• Field trips and all camp supplies
• Ice cream and ices for afternoon snack
• Daily towel service
• Group photo, camp shirt, gym bag, and DVD yearbook
