About Mosholu Day Camp
Mosholu Day Camp will be open this summer and will offer children a safe and fun experience. We will be putting all of the CDC and Dept. of Health guidelines in place and taking every precaution to ensure the safest experience possible. Our traditional camp day is filled with dynamic activities and located in a beautiful setting. After a long and hard end of the school year, kids need to get out and experience new activities, make new friends, and socialize.
Mosholu Day Camps for Kids
Mosholu Day Camps offers three camps for younger kids: Norwood, for ages 5-7; Young Blazers, for ages 8-9; and Blazers, for ages 10-11. Norwood provides a nurturing environment where campers have an opportunity to enjoy activities (like music, arts, sports, and special programs), while a special focus is placed on swimming, where we begin to develop and improve water familiarity and swimming skills. Young Blazers enjoy a fun-filled day with swimming, boating, archery, art, drama, dance, sports, and more, with optional overnights, hikes in Harriman State Park, and challenge course activities. Blazers enjoy age-appropriate activities, including swimming, archery, adventure courses, sports, arts, and boating. Blazers also gain independence while supervised by counselors who understand the needs of emerging tween campers.
Camp Teen Adventures
Camp Teen Adventures is for tweens and teens entering seventh through 10th grades. Staffed by a group of safety minded but still fun loving counselors, Camp Teen Adventures at Mosholu Day Camp is a “funtastic” place tweens and teens to make new friends, enjoy the outdoors, and have a positive experience. Counselors are college-aged and older and are directly supervised by adult professional child care workers who are in tune to the campers' needs. Campers will choose their own activities and take part in inter-camp games and parties, while also enjoying cookouts and a teen lounge with video games, ping pong, and foosball.
Camp Sunshine for Kids with Special Needs
Mosholu’s Camp Sunshine is a mainstream program for children, ages 5-12, who have developmental disabilities and/or are limited with their social emotional growth. The camp provides services to children with learning disabilities, speech and language disabilities, pervasive development disorder (PDD-NOS), autism (mild to moderate), ADD, ADHD, Down syndrome, and intellectual disabilities (mild to moderate). This inclusion program is designed to address the needs of each camper while integrating kids into the appropriate group setting to have the opportunity to participate in all camp activities.
About Mosholu Day Camp Staff
Mosholu counselors understand their important role as mentors. They gently encourage campers to explore and try, and they help children to learn to solve problems and overcome obstacles. Our counselors are trained to identify and meet the needs of individual children, as well as to develop spirited and cohesive groups. Mosholu Day Camp staff training does not end at Orientation. Head Counselors, Activity Specialists, and Directors mentor our counselors daily.
