Mount Tom

A typical day involves two swimming sessions, three physical activities (which may have kids maneuvering a challenge course or playing a team sport), and two cultural classes in music, drama, dance or art. This year, tots have the opportunity to take classes in Legos, gardening and cooking. In addition to taking advantage of the playground, theater, pools and multiple sports facilities, little ones dine on the patio of an early-20th-century mansion daily. Camp runs June 30–Aug 22, Mon–Fri 9am–4pm. Eight-week session $6,600, four-week session $4,200. Bus service available from Manhattan (additional $25 charge per week), the Bronx, Roosevelt Island, in Queens, Astoria, Long Island City, Woodside and Sunnyside, and in Brooklyn, Park Slope, Clinton Hill, Brooklyn Heights and Williamsburg. Ages 3 to 14.
