Hackley Hornets Program

Even kids who don’t attend this Tarrytown prep school can spend their summer taking advantage of its elite academics and gorgeous grounds. Campers choose two three-hour classes, taught by Hackley faculty, in everything from the arts to sports and ecology. (We love the quirky course titles, like Adventures in Inventing, where kids use 3-D printers and make wearable computers, Stage Combat and Extreme Acting, Three-Minute Filmmaking and Food for Thought, a creative cooking class.) Camp runs June 9–27 Mon–Fri 9am–4pm. One-week session $750, includes lunch. Transportation from Manhattan is available for an extra fee. Ages 4 to 14.
