Our family could not love Ivy League more! Our 2 daughters, current ages 6 and 2 1/2 both attend Ivy League camp. My youngest daughter adjusted and separated beautifully with the "mini mini" program. Its is a perfect 1st camp experience. Her counselor and division leader were simply amazing! My older daughter has sever food allergies and although nervous, we send her to camp with the utmost of confidence, that she is getting THE best care! Her counselors and division leader always keep her safe and are wonderful with checking labels and finding safe alternatives for her. Their communication with us is incredible! My older daughter cried and cried when camp ended. She adored her camp friends and her counselors became part of our extended family. I could not rave more about Ivy League and how positive an experience it has been for all of us!!
This was the first year that my children attended Ivy League (2013). My children were in the first grade, third grade on campus program and my 13 yr. old was in the post grad. The staff was excellent, attentive and skilled. The activities were enriching and engaging at all levels. Staff worked to ensure that each child made friends and gained confidence. My daughter has seizures and the extra attention including RN on staff and life guards provided excellent supervision and care. Each day all three children came home happy and eager to tell me about the many activities they did. The transportation was safe and reliable. The bus driver went out of her way to get to know the children. The counselors made personal phone calls to give updates on the children and to see if I had concerns. Communication was EXCELLENT! The cost of the camp is pricey but for what the children do and get out of it...was worth it. The best summer the children have ever had! Thanks Ivy League!
My daughter is 13 and my son is 9. This is the 2nd year my daughter has attended and my son's first. My doughtier attended the regular summer program in 2012 and the travel program for 8 weeks in 2013. my son attended the regular summer program this year in 2013. My children had an extremely positive experience with Ivy League. They had the best summer of their childhood. This camp really had made a positive impact on my children, especially my daughter. My daughter has a.d.h.d and requires extra attention with my parenting skills. Her camp experience truly helped in my job. Maturity, independence, social skills and excitement are just a few of the many positive attributes this camp instills in our youngsters. The way the is run and its expectations of its campers as well as its staff, is far and beyond what is normally expected. As my son would say, "We rate this camp an A++". The travel program is phenomenal as well, amazing trips!
All 3 of my children have had the best summers ever since we joined the Ivy League Family 2 summers ago. The counselors all made such an impression on them, especially my boys. My middle guy (9 yrs. old and shy) has really come out of his shell due to the friendship and encouragement of the archery counselor. My oldest (10 yrs. old)still looks up to one of his counselors from last summer as a big brother type. This year his counselors were amazing too! My 3 year old had a smile on her face as she fell asleep each night, probably dreaming of all the fun she had at camp that day. Ivy League certainly keeps it fresh with all the special days and events. My kids just love it there and my husband and I do too!!!
This camp is EVERYTHING my children ever dreamed of. My son asks to go back everyday and my daughter is counting down the days until camp will start again. The love and attention my children receive by far surpasses anything I could have hoped for.
This was my son's first year at camp & it will be his last. The counselors are insensitive and mean. For the large amount of money you pay I would expect way more than what you ate getting at this camp. They are rude nasty people!!
I have worked here for 6 years and it has been a fantastic experience, from the welcoming staff to the fun out going campers. Working and coming to Ivy League Day camp is an overall wonderful adventure. If you want your child to have an amazing summer make it an Ivy League one. I can personally say that Ivy League has become my second family.
My kids LOVE it at ivy League and are already asking when camp starts next year! They get to do everything here and I feel so safe sending them. They are swimming better than any of the other kids their ages. I could not ask for more activities. They love the heated pools, go-carts, rockwall and sky bounce.
My son just had a wonderful summer at Ivy League. Varied, fun activities. Safety A+ Excellent swim instruction. Best of all my son couldn't wait to go every morning and every evening he couldn't stop talking about his day. This from a boy who when asked what he did in school said "I forget". We looked at many other camps in Western Suffolk county and while Ivy League was the most expensive, it was also the most well run, with the most attention given to campers. My son usually has trouble making friends and he had no trouble here due to the warmth and good will of the staff and the other campers.
traffic in and around the camp is poorly managed and dangerous to children,the pool is freezing, the staff are underpaid or even unpaid interns with no special training given the high expense of the camp
The grounds are absolutely beautiful; however, the tuition is just waaaaay too steep for us, especially after just having our 3rd child. We can no longer afford it.
I've been going to ivy league for 9 years. It was okay at first with the explore program, but the counselors have never been good. I was in grads for the past two years. When you go on trips you have to share a bed with another person. I could see that if u r sharing the bed with ur sibling, but just not with another guy. Especially since the nicest hotels we stay in are indoors and dirty versus ones that are outdoors (motel style) and filthy. Counselors really don't care about you, and the directors are sometimes teachers and forget to make the transition from school to camp.
I've been goin to this camp since i was like 5 or 6. I am almost 12 rite now. The reason y im not goin back is cause of grads and super seniors. Now that i finished all my on campus years no i have no choice not to got to grads. Grads is traveling all around the world. Call me a sissy but i just dont like to leave my family for more than three days. See u later Ivy league. I <3 u Stacy, Daryn, brittney, courtney and all of my counsleors over the years. Bi Ill miss u Ivy.
Ive been here a few years and although I like it I feel im ready for a change to a new camp. I have no complaints just feel like im ougrowing it and ready to go somewhere else , find new friends and do more(different) activities Ill always miss you though. Good luck and Ill come back to visit.Take care and see you soon. steve.
i went to this camp when I was younger, and now im to old to go back there, but I loved it soo much. My counslers became my babysitters during the winter, and my camp friends were the best, I lost touch with most of them, but we were best friends over the summer. I loved it there, I even became a Jr. Lifeguard in the pool. I have soo many memories of that camp it's unbelivable! I wish I could go back to day camp and live it all over again!! ivy league is the best!! <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3
ivy league is my life and i love it with all my heartt ... i love my friendsss and everyonee who goes there. good timess at this campp =) post gradsss 07 cant waittttt <33
I LOVED IVY LEAGUE! I WENT FROM DAY CAMP TO TRAVEL CAMP. 10 YEARS. I HAD AMAZING FRIENDS THAT I AM STILL FRIENDS WITH TO THIS DAY. I LOVEEE IVY LEAGUE!
Terrible camp - Overall the camp was run poorly, made the staff feel like second rate citizens and was way overpriced. In the younger division worked with a lady who thought she really understood things about kids, but had a hard time understanding herself.
I loved Ivy League Day Camp. I went for 4 years. 8th grade I felt a little too old. But the explore program is excellent for those kids who rather do art than play sports. I just had a councilor i really didnt like, emily from explore. She was a witch.
