What are the options for Summer Day Camp for Girls in Brooklyn? I’m only aware of BYA and Masores. Are there any other good ones in Brooklyn? Thank you
BYBP
For what age? Sometimes they have separate ones for older and younger girls. And are you looking for a big established daycamp only? I know girls (HS grads) who are making day camps this summer with activities just as good as big day camps and charge half the price! If your interested I could give you several numbers.
Every major Chassidus in BP has a day camp for girls. Belz, Bobov (probably has 2 by now), Pupa, Kloizenberg (Bais Esther), Vien.
The best day camp imo is Bais Yaakov of Boro Park. They are very strict about following safety rules, since they are such a big camp and incorporate a (very slightly more) diverse group of people than other BP institutions.
If you want to send your kids to a backyard day camp, make sure they follow elementary safety procedures. (have hatzala’s number, counselors know Heimlich and CPR, take attendance regularly, put sunscreen on the kids, etc.)
I find it hard to believe that a backyard daycamp would be “just as good as a regular daycamp”. There’s more to daycamp than just activities… Especially considering the fact that your child will end up spending their entire day there.
Very true 😉 just putting it out there.
It happens to be that I’ve seen these girls as counselors and they were the most amazing ones there. And it’s an option to those who don’t want to pay as much.
Child/teacher ratio, experience in many different areas, safety, Backgrounds… And these are just a few. Do they collect parents’ contact information? And emergency information? And the list goes on…
I’m sure they have it all figured out. I could tell them to tell you about it themselves on Yeshiva world.
