Our buses rolled in filled with children holding brand-new toys! Every summer we set aside a day of camp that we call, “North Shore Cares Day”. On this day we come together as a camp community and strive to do something to help support a worthy cause.

North Shore Day Camp families have helped make us one of the leading camps in funding “camper-ships” to Morry’s Camp. Morry’s Camp is a unique four-week program which guarantees four summers of camp to under-privileged children who keep up with their school work and are positive role models in their community.

With record breaking temperatures across Long Island, people everywhere are trying to stay cool! Here at North Shore, we’ve adapted our schedule to include more water sports, breaks in the shade and activities in our air-conditioned buildings to make sure that campers are staying healthy & hydrated, while also making sure they’re having fun! We’ve got water relays, more periods in the pool and we’re liberally applying sunscreen and making sure there’s lots of water & fruit around camp for campers to eat!
Yesterday, ABC News stopped by to see exactly what we were doing to beat the heat! Check out the video clip below!

The sun was shining brightly on Tuesday as we all waited for our campers to arrive!!! Our buses rolled in by 9:15 and they were filled with such happy campers! Everyone was eager to start their first day at camp (And if truth be told, we were just as eager to see them as they were to see us!).

Yesterday was a PERFECT day for our camper and parent orientations. After two weeks of staff training, our counselors were so excited to finally meet our campers!
Everyone had the opportunity to get to meet one another; Our campers got to meet our incredible staff, they also met their fellow campers and had a blast revisiting the camp grounds. Our Stepping Stones campers played in the Stepping Stones Village and had the opportunity to try out a school bus so that they’ll be ready when they see their camp bus rolling up to their home this Tuesday! Our upper camp campers had a tour of the camp and played all sorts of games to get them in that NSDC kind of mood… And our Voyagers – boy oh boy – they got to hear about all of the fun places they’ll be going to this summer. The excitement in their faces – Complete awesomeness!!!
Tuesday just can’t come soon enough!

One of the most frequently asked questions we get from our camp parents is “When can I come to camp and play too?” Well the answer to that question is “Family Day!” This past Sunday was our Family Day 2010 for our upcoming NSDC summer families and we had a fantastic time!
