Description: Campers come to Ivy League for the fun! We want campers to be the BEST THEY CAN BE in a safe and nurturing environment. Ivy League Day Camp has been accredited by The American Camp Association for over 35 years. At Ivy League Day Camp experienced and caring role models (counselors) are constantly encouraging campers and building their self-esteem through well rounded supervised activities. With our low camper to counselor ratios and our expertise in Childhood Education, combined with our strong camping program, we offer a SAFE, FUN FILLED and UNIQUE summer experience. Campers are under the careful supervision of mature staff that is well aware of the social, physical and emotional needs of children. Counselors and Activity Specialists work together to make that initial adjustment to camp an easy one.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
