The ACT Summer program is one of the few
programs within the five boroughs that offers spacious grounds,
an eight-week program, extended hours and a wide age-range of campers.
No need to bus your child miles away from home in order to be out
in the sun and around trees and flowers. Our 13-acre oasis in Manhattan
allows children to garden, meet in fields, play outdoors or in the
gymnasiums, use crafts rooms, and eat under the shade of cherry
trees. Peacocks and squirrels roam our unique setting. Come visit.
Summer activities offer an exciting eight-week
period sure to keep everyone happy, including parents. ACT's unique
July Divisions for campers as young as 3 1/2 and as old as 14 have
been tested and proven over our 31 years of service. August Camp
includes singular offerings in the arts, sports and performing arts.
Call for a summer brochure that describes program activities and
events.
