Summer at The Kew-Forest School

Summer at The Kew-Forest School in Queens provides children entering Kindergarten to Grade 5 with academic enrichment in reading, writing, and mathematics, along with recreational activities including arts & crafts, dance, drama, field trips, martial arts, STEM, swimming & more! Two, four, and six week options are available.

Not only does their program implement academics to prevent summer learning loss, but it also creates opportunities for social-emotional learning. The camp staff lead fun and engaging activities that include youth voices and encourage campers to be the best versions of themselves each day.

Each camp session brings forth a new adventure through various themes.

• Session One (July 8 – July 19) is “World of Disney” as campers celebrate all things Disney.
• Session Two (July 22 – August 2) is “Around the World”. During this session, campers will explore different customs from across the globe.
• For Session Three (August 5 – August 16), the theme is  “Camp Olympics”. Campers will compete in sports and games to develop team-building skills

Other camp highlights include trips on “Fun Fridays” to places like LEGOLAND and Liberty Science Center. This year Kew-Forest is excited to partner with Commonpoint Queens in Forest Hills to offer 60-minutes swim classes once a week for each camp group beginning the week of July 15. Each day, campers are provided morning and afternoon snacks and a nutritious lunch with vegetarian and gluten free options available upon request.

Interested families can attend an on-site Open House on Wednesday, May 22. Open House attendees are encouraged to bring their children and can expect a tour of the camp facility as well as an introduction to staff and Camp Director.
