Come experience the magic of Challenge Camp, Westchester’s premier day camp for bright, curious children.
Our campers have a fantastic summer, letting their imaginations soar. There are no “empty calories” on our tempting plate of summer activities, filled with tasty helpings from the worlds of technology, sports, math and science, history, gaming, arts and crafts, photography, and performing arts — from computers, robots and architecture to fashion design, music, cooking and much, much more.
With over 40 years of experience, we have assembled a camping staff that is superb in every way. Our goal is to ensure that campers will be engaged and learning this summer, and we remain dedicated to providing children with meaningful opportunities to realize their intellectual and personal potential.

“I normally don’t write recommendations, but this is a must – My son Jeremy not only had the best time this past summer, but mentally grew in an exceptional capacity that I give credit to CC! The wonderful campers around him as well as superb (and fun) counselors just added to the bliss of a summer! My wife and I sincerely thank you! Totally recommend Challenge Camp! Thank you.” – Stephen M.
