If your kid has an endless energy supply and a curious streak a mile wide, Asphalt Green’s Summer Day Camp is ready to put it to good use. With campuses on the Upper East Side and in Battery Park City, this camp blends classic fun with top-tier facilities and a staff that actually knows how to keep kids engaged.
Campers ages 4.5 to 13 are grouped by grade level, and every day includes a mix of sports, swim, arts and off-the-wall creativity. From soccer and basketball to martial arts and baseball, young athletes are in their element. Daily swim instruction builds confidence and technique, while artists-in-the-making can dive into theater, music, writing and even circus arts.
There’s also plenty for the budding scientist or gamer—STEM activities, robotics and experiments keep brains just as busy as bodies. And when it's time to shake things up, weekly field trips take campers beyond the campus for adventures like aquarium visits, baseball games and climbing walls.
The camper-to-coach ratio stays low so every kid gets personal attention and support. It’s high-energy, all-inclusive and the kind of summer they’ll be talking about long after school starts again.
