Outdoor Adventures Await at Dwight Summer Camp!

At Dwight Summer Camp, outdoor time is a cornerstone of our daily schedule, with campers spending at least two hours outside each day (weather permitting). From exploring Central Park’s playgrounds, baseball and soccer fields, and splash pads, to enjoying rooftop fun with water sprinklers, picnics, and our exciting “Discovery of the Day,” every moment is filled with adventure, creativity, and exploration. Whether they’re running, splashing, or discovering something new, our campers thrive in the great outdoors!

Our outdoor time is packed with exciting activities and opportunities to explore! Highlights include:

• Central Park Passport: A brand-new program that lets campers explore multiple parks on both the East and West sides, ticking off as many locations as possible.
• Permitted Playfields: Access to baseball, soccer, and basketball fields within Central Park, offering plenty of space for sports and team activities.
• Outdoor Field Trips: Special excursions to engage with nature and the city’s iconic outdoor spaces.
• Astroturf Rooftop Spaces: Our 94th Street Campus and Athletics Center rooftops provide safe, versatile areas for games, sprinklers, and group fun.
• Splash Pads & Playgrounds: We visit splash pads and playgrounds around the city. These include Chelsea Waterside Playground, River Park Playground, Flushing Meadows Corona Park, and Battery Playscape. 
• Pickleball Courts: Reach new heights this summer with our brand-new rooftop pickleball courts, where campers can play, compete, stay active and have a blast in the sun.
• Gated Courtyard: Relax, play, and create all day in our shaded courtyard, complete with construction and games equipment, picnic tables with umbrellas, and artificial turf.
