My daughter went to Happy Days Summer Camp 2 years ago when we were in Queens visiting family for…read morethe summer. She went for 4 weeks and absolutely loved it! We headed to Massachusetts and she sulked the whole way. She wanted to go the camp for the rest of the summer. I thought the price was reasonable. I don't know if the prices went up but if they went up a little still well worth it. They took them to a nice pool club every day and then a different activity. I liked that they went to the park but my daughter loved going to the movies and bowling. One day it rained and they did an ice cream party (her favorite of course)at their headquartered locations which from the pictures I saw in the brochure looked good. Most important thing though was that it was organized and safe. They had a nurse and EMT on duty and the counselor to camper was like 3 to 1. The bus showed up on time every day and their was at least one counselor on the bus both ways. We are headed back to Queens this summer for at least 3 weeks and plan on enrolling my daughter if they do 3 weeks. Hell if it's reasonable enough I would pay for the 4 weeks. All in all a great experience.

My 5 year old nephew went to the camp last summer with my son. They liked it a lot. They do a lot…read moreof art & crafts stuff and my son is not into sports to much though he likes swimming. He went to the camp the whole summer and made a lot of friends. The cool thing was that even though he wasn't really into sports he loved going to the movies and some of the other non-sports related activities. Their counselors were really very sweet and the senior staff keeps a good eye out. One of the things that impressed me was the food. I had heard they served school lunch food at some of the camps. But at this one the food was catered from a Kosher deli. I really liked that. I'm not Jewish but I Like the idea that the food was good quality. We are not sure what we are doing this summer but even if we go on vacation for a couple of weeks during the summer I was told we could go the first few weeks, reserve the last 3 weeks and not lose our spot. I highly recommend Happy Days Summer Camp

I attended Magic Day Camp for two summers - first when I was 7 in 2000, and again at age 9 in 2003…read more Looking at their website today, I see they've added some new activities like air trampolines and visits to White Post Farm. Back in my day, it was much more limited: swimming took up about 80% of the time, with occasional trips to a run-down movie theater (where half the seats didn't work) and Adventureland amusement park. The one genuinely awesome activity was visiting this old-school arcade - that place was dope, and along with one kind bus monitor named Melissa, it's the only reason this review gets 2 stars. The camp's unprofessionalism and poor care really stand out in my memory. When I was 9, I had a bad fall that left scrapes all along the side of my face and knocked out one of my teeth - thankfully it was just a baby tooth and not a permanent one. Their idea of first aid? A band-aid and ice water in a plastic glove because they didn't even have proper ice packs. They didn't properly inform my mother about the extent of my injuries, so when I got home, she was shocked. She wrote a lengthy letter expressing her concerns about their negligence. Their response? The next day at camp, they pulled me aside to tell me I had "embarrassed them." I was just a kid who got hurt under their watch - what was there to be embarrassed about? The camp's staffing practices were concerning, to say the least. Instead of hiring qualified teachers or experienced childcare professionals, they filled positions with high school students as junior counselors and a few 18-22 year olds as the lead councelors. I remember overhearing them getting their monthly paychecks, well not overhear we were in an open field just sitting around cause that tends to happen there and then someone came with a whole bunch of envelopes and handed them out to them. I remember one girl received just $430 for four weeks of work, and she was visibly upset. At the time, as a kid, I thought that was a lot of money. Now I realize how absurd it was - less than $500 to watch other people's children for a month? No wonder the care was subpar. They were paying teenagers peanuts to handle significant responsibilities. Most of the bus monitors were incredibly mean to the kids, with one shining exception - Melissa. I still remember her decades later because she was the only one who showed genuine kindness. One counselor convinced a little girl to let her "borrow" her cell phone, then made international calls to the Dominican Republic (imagine that phone bill in the early 2000s!). Another counselor was eventually fired for being consistently cruel to the kids - she was clearly just there for the paycheck. While I see they've added more activities since my time there, my experiences were memorable for all the wrong reasons. Based on my time at Magic Day Camp, I wouldn't send my own children there. The administration seemed more focused on collecting fees than providing quality care and activities for the kids. That old arcade was amazing and Melissa was a saint, but two bright spots don't make up for everything else.

They have trips 2-3 times a week. It is a great place to send your child for the summer. The…read morecounselors in the camps are professional and friendly to the campers, will come again!!!
