Summer Camps in New Jersey

New Jersey was not called "the Garden State" for nothing. It is a beautiful little state of rolling hills, horses, streams and meadows. Some great camps here are very accessible for New Yorker kids.

http://www.ypdc.com/ Young Peoples' Day Camps as several locations in New Jersey which are very convenient to most New England locations. I clicked on the Ocean County Camp and found it pretty intriguing. It's a Day Camp for boys and girls 5-14 years of age. The Director and all head counselors are certified teachers in New Jersey. The camp is insured and licensed and inspected regularly by the New Jersey health Department. There are EMT, life guards and CPR personnel on grounds at all times, so your child is in very competent, caring hands here. Campers are transported to and from their homes by professional drivers in busses. You can call Vinnie on his cell phone in case any emergency comes up. How much more assurance and care could you wish for in a summer camp for any youngster? There are literally too many traditional activities to begin to name here, but they do include lots of additional trips for area fun, like visits to baseball parks, an aquarium, amusement parks, a lighthouse, seaport, and even pony rides. Yes, your kid will learn some basics of camping, but there are so many other experiences this camp offers as well. There is no boating offered at this camp but lots of swimming and water safety instruction. Indoor sports like bowling and outdoor team sports are featured. A two-week adventure costs only $1,070 with a deposit of $175; a full eight-week camp costs $2,940 with a $350 deposit. Look over the web site and especially at the pictures. This is a bargain, considering all transportation; shirts, insurance, bags, trophies and water bottles are included in the pricing. Contact them to reserve spots for your kid. Another perk I should mention is that parents working or looking for work can get a 20% income tax credit up to $6,000 here!
