Summer Camp

For more than 25 years, New York Edge has offered summer camps that blend structured learning and enrichment with classic summer camp activities like sports and arts to keep students thriving and growing even after the summer bell rings.

With New York Edge camps, kids don’t have to choose between fun and enrichment. Through sports, games, art, and academics, getting ready for the school year can be a blast.

The program employs hands-on or project-based learning utilizing curricula that meet the following criteria: 1) age-appropriate and inquiry-based 2) align to common core standards 3) support school-day curricula 4) thematic/project-based and 5) promote critical thinking and problem-solving skills. All activities are curriculum based and front-line staff receive appropriate training to facilitate structured activities with lesson plans and tangible products to support student learning. We foster social & emotional learning skills & infuse academic skills (reading, writing, & math).

The art department creates all experiences, events and projects for summer in a way where students can immerse themselves in the vibrant pulse of New York City, culture, creativity and exploration in the arts and within the summer theme.  We look to celebrate Global Diversity and Ingenuity. The arts aim to explore a rich tapestry of cultures, ideas, and innovations and embark young people on an engaging journey.

New York Edge programs help students understand that reading and writing can help them express their feelings, connect with each other, and succeed in the classroom. Through engaging text and project-based activities based on pedagogical best practices, as well as readathons and other exciting competitions, students strengthen their literacy skills and learn to love reading and writing.

Through our STEM curriculum, students learn to question, test, observe, collaborate, and explain their findings in all activities. These skills are crucial as children experiment and investigate issues relevant to the world around them through hands-on learning opportunities.

Our Maker’s Club program allows students unleash creativity through designing, sewing, music production, and DJ programs, fostering skills and careers.

Throughout the summer, students will embark on an exciting journey of creativity, exploring the vibrant culture of New York City. They’ll have the opportunity to create a digital art City of Dreams Banner, explore culture through self-portraits, experiment with pop culture illusion photography, and more!
