    In short, if you have a quirky child who may require extra attention then this may not be the camp…read morefor you. However, if you have an easy going child who rarely has a hiccup in life then definitely consider Dwight Summer Camp. This is our 6th summer attending a local camp and in past years we have been to Bank Street, Oasis and FastBreak. PROS: Dwight's facilities are gorgeous (i.e., indoor pool, a basketball court, enclosed outdoor space etc.) and their curriculum for Adventure camp was impressive (i.e., seeing a Broadway play etc.). CONS: Unfortunately our experience did not end well. My child is ADHD which I discussed with the camp prior to signing up. I was assured this would not be an issue and reminded that the camp has a low student to counselor ratio and that their staff is comprised of experienced staff working in the field of education. My child does take medication so all things combined, it sounded like a recipe for success. In reality I was called on two occasions and told my child would need to be picked up from camp immediately. On one occasion the person calling stated "we aren't sure what happened but we can discuss when you get here." Call me crazy but as a customer the very least they could do is figure out what happened BEFORE calling me. On another occasion the camp director expressed that I was on speaker phone and "did I want to say anything to my child." My child can be anxious and sensitive so I responded by saying I would speak to them in person since I suspect they may have hard time verbalizing themselves if they are emotional. The director responded with "well, they were doing a good job of verbalizing how much they don't like this camp." Umm, well... my child is 8... and probably upset... maybe even scared... (and, yes) behaving poorly given the circumstances.... but YOU are an adult AND the director so maybe try and show up with a bit more compassion. This is a job for which you are paid to do and I am helping to pay that salary. At the time of that call I was in another state for work but expressed I would reach out to the sitter and ask them to pick-up my child. The director then expressed that my being away might explain my child's poor behavior. Ouch... I felt a bit helpless being half away across the country and that definitely felt like a kick when I was already down. I fully admit that my child is rambunctious, sometimes difficult and never perfect. They are also kind, smart, loving and desperate to feel like they belong. I've gotten my fair share of calls or requests "to speak." It's never fun and more often than not I feel disappointed but I show up, I listen and I work hard with my child to ensure the next day is a better day. Having been at this for several years I've encountered many people who lack compassion and probably should find another profession. I expect it. But in the years I have been doing this, never has a camp or program demanded I pick-up my child. In the 3 weeks we attended Dwight we had more good days then bad but the bad days were handled so poorly that I am certain we won't be returning.

    Our family is thrilled with Dwight Camp. Truly as good as it gets. The counselors are inspiring,…read moreresponsible and caring; the kids are sweet and fun-loving; the activities are a healthy mix of routines and surprises; lots of swimming for fun and instruction; and nice to have an indoor option when it's too hot or rainy. The overall vibe is wonderful, everyone is smiling (in a genuine way). And to top it off, the staff are very helpful and accommodating if unusual or difficult situations arise. The director helped me when my son was struggling a bit with wanting to go to camp,, she was a lifesaver.

    My ten year old daughter just finished her first day at the UES location and she had a blast! She…read moreespecially loved the freedom she had to choose her own activities. "It was so cool that when I finished lunch I could go do whatever I wanted, I didn't have to follow a group like in other camps." Her favorites were the giant slip and slide, the film studio, and the game show at the end of the day. She also liked how she could always go get a snack from the counselor in the cafe whenever she was hungry. "There was fruit and goldfish and homemade yogurt things. It was great!" The setup of this camp allows children to really take ownership of their day, from what they choose to play, to when they eat a snack, to who they spend their time with. It is a very unique idea for a NYC camp, and it was the perfect place for my daughter. She can't wait to go back!

I don't know about the other locations, but I think the person who runs this location (Mike) really goes above & beyond! My daughter loves all the activities and the counselors are all great. I've spoken to a bunch and they all seem to be college seniors or work in education (not the teenagers that some other camps seem to have). We didn't know what to expect since I couldn't find any reviews and didn't know too many people who went last year, but this has truly exceeded all of our expectations!

    My review never posted so I'm reposting from my 2020 experience:…read more Goodvibes here writing a review with a heavy heart. I've never been to a NY Kids club (this is not a review of any of the teaching staff here) but I've lost $5000 to them. In Nov I called to enquire about their preschool program for 2s and expressed interest in visiting the school a few days later. The woman I spoke to over the phone told me there was one spot left. I told her I would wait to see the facility but she said I could secure a spot with a $5000 completely refundable deposit if I cancelled before April (as the spot would likely go before my visit). I paid, my mom ended up at Sloan Kettering the next day, then my daughter was sick, and the holidays came and went. But none of that matters. I was told I had until April. I requested a refund and was told ten days later refunds were not given. I spoke with the front desk- the employee who gave me a false verbal policy and processed my payment no longer worked there. Surprise! After the front desk spoke with the district manager I received a terse email 24hrs later requesting me to read their policy. I would have loved to read their policy, if I were given one before payment. I would've loved to have signed something via email or in person but still haven't even walked by the location. Sending me their real policies after payment doesn't matter, as there are no refunds period. I'm asking for a refund for a program 9 MONTHS in advance and I never signed a contract. No refunds. Must be a very in demand place. Update: I hired a lawyer and they promptly refunded my money.

This gem has been greatly needed in an area with a growing demographic of babies and new parents. I've taken my son to the following classes: Babies in motion, Gym babies, and Musical Tots. We also go to open play about twice a week. What's great is that you get a large number of open plays when you sign up for a class. You sign up for a weekly class (or two different ones if you'd like), and they're very accommodating with makeups if your baby happens to nap at your schedule time, so it's money well spent. They have all kinds of props and gym structures, as well as trampolines and musical instruments. Having rambunctious babies and toddlers cooped up in the apartment during this cold weather isn't great-so this place is definitely meeting a need. Mike and Chanelle who do musical tots are truly exceptional- high energy and extremely talented musician and singers. We have Kristen for our regular gym class and she's great, my son really likes her. Truth be told not all staff are top notch but none are bad. The differences are more pronounced when going to open play depending on who the assigned staff member is- some will take out different toys and props, some won't or barely will. The main reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that they've been taking a long time to cover up the metal spokes that stick out of the bars-not safe for little ones and this issue has been brought up to them several times since they opened in Sept. Other than that, we're very happy campers. Oh and if you have a child who's 2.5 yrs or above, take advantage of their pajama parties! I wish we could.
