FOR KIDS ONLY...keep reading! Everything you want from a summer camp is at Fairview Lake YMCA. When you sign up for our traditional sleep away camp, you get to make your own schedule and choose the activities you like most! Our great activities include windsurfing/sailing, archery, arts & crafts, canoeing, rock climbing, dance, drama, in-line skating, kayaking, high and low-ropes courses, snorkeling, street hockey, swimming, voice, guitar, and of course tons of other sports options. We also have a horseback riding camp and other specialty camps for tennis, fine arts, sailing/windsurfing. Some of these specialty camps are only for boys and others are only for girls. If you are the adventurous type, you might want to sign up for one of our challenging adventure trips where you can do some real rock climbing, backpacking, canoeing safaris, fishing, biking or cave exploring.

We have over 600 acres of forests and fields, a 70,000-acre national park in our backyard and a mile-long beautiful lake for you to explore. Our kids and counselors come from all over the world. C'mon, make new friends and learn something new. Parents, our kids will want to make Fairview Lake their home away from home!
Please contact Jake Lasher for a personal camp tour.

For more than 50 years, summers at Appel Farm have sparked the imaginations of thousands of young people as they interacted with artists from around the world in a beautiful part of rural southern New Jersey. Safety, community, personal growth, and fun have always guided our program and continue to ensure that every child experiences a summer that will last a lifetime. Our dynamic learning program, with classes in music, theater, dance, visual arts, photography, video, recording arts, and creative writing, sports and swim, places emphasis on the creative process, hands-on learning and collaborative projects as campers work toward performances and exhibitions for their families to enjoy at the end of each session. With a balanced schedule of classes, free-time, workshops, trips, campfires, performances and special events, summers at Appel Farm are full of fun!

Most of our campers, boys and girls age 9-17, attend for 4 weeks, though a two-week session is a great way to try out camp for the first time. Sessions can be combined in order to stay for 6 or 8 weeks. With only two opening days, campers start together for each set of sessions.

Daily Academics, learn to make quick and easy snacks, meditate and yoga, swimming is weather permitting, building chracter, making usable crafts, tapping your own hidden talents.
More so you, children will learn to love math and language. You will love to learn, I promise.

Why Do Parents and Children choose the Dance Connection's Performing Arts Camp?

Highly qualified teachers – All of the classes at the Dance Connection are taught by adult professionals who have extensive experience with children and years of experience working with their art form. Further more, all of us are certified in first aid and C.P.R.

Friday Performances - Every Friday at 5:30 children use the talents they’ve developed throughout the week to put on a show for family and Friends. Everyone is invited. But this is no living room theatre; You’ll be amazed at what these kids can create in one week.

Low Student to staff ratio – Because we only take 30 students per week every child gets seen and heard. Our small camp lets us create a close knit environment where campers and staff can really get to know each other and each child gets lots of individual attention.

Early drop off at no extra charge – Drop your child off as early as 7:30 and pick them up as late as 6:00. One of our counselors will always be here.
