Clues to fit

Community belonging — 7-year family, kids prefer camp over vacation

"We became part of the Nabby Family 7 years ago and haven't looked back. While other families look forward to vacation, we look forward to Camp! Eight weeks of fun in the sun, playing, learning and growing. It's a special time and delivers so many lifelong memories and benefits." — R.S.

Community belonging — camper asks to skip Disney to avoid missing Nabby

"Counselors are fantastic! Communication is fantastic. Fifth year in a row of Nabby being an absolute highlight. This year she asked if she could skip Disney World as she would have to miss 2 days of camp!" — Jill, Croton-on-Hudson

Program breadth — Aerial Adventure with zip line, climbing wall, and high ropes

Our aerial adventure course features a 25-foot climbing wall, a foot-off-the-ground low challenge course, and a split-level tree house accessed by three different bridges. Along the nature trail, campers experience the thrill of a 120-foot zip line and our 35-foot 'monkey hardware' tree climb. For older campers, our 35-foot, five-station high ropes course is secured with a double-lock cable safety system.

Setting — 17-acre campus with pools, fields, courts, and nature center

Our 17-acre campus in Northern Westchester offers the finest amenities for age-appropriate sports, swimming, socializing, and individual interests. Our three beautiful pools are smack dab in the middle of camp — small, medium, and large — so kids at every swim level feel comfortable and safe. Ranger Rick's nature center and hiking trails provide a fascinating hands-on learning experience for all ages. Explore our tree house, climbing wall and high ropes course in our Aerial Adventure with age-appropriate challenges for all campers.

Programs & camp life

Daily life — groups named after colleges, 26 groups total

We have 26 groups at Camp Nabby, each one named after a college or university. When Frank Bertino took over in 1970, after being a coach and teacher for 44 years, he had student-athletes on the brain. The names stuck and we've kept them the same ever since. Each group has an assigned schedule to ensure equal parts athletics and creative group activities.

Daily life — Senior Camp day with interest periods and Epic Games

Mornings are intentionally up-tempo and active, often featuring an athletic rotation that includes daily swim and tennis instruction, along with traditional sports such as soccer, baseball/softball, volleyball, and flag football. Each day, campers select two 40-minute interest periods based on their preferences, followed by a 40-minute free swim. Senior Epic Games are the featured activity every Wednesday afternoon and are always a highlight of the summer at Nabby.

Food — daily hot lunch from Little Sorrento's plus BBQ and Pizza Friday

Hot Lunch is provided every day of the week as part of tuition. Monday through Wednesday features a catered lunch from Little Sorrentos in Yorktown. On Thursday we offer a BBQ Lunch and Pizza on Fridays! We are proud of our relationship with Hemlock Hill Farm, where our hamburgers are prepared fresh just for Nabby.

For parents & families

Cabin/bunk — dedicated bunk per group as home base

Every group at Camp Nabby has its own dedicated bunk, each named after a different college, giving campers a sense of identity and belonging within the larger camp community. These bunks serve as a home base throughout the day, a place to regroup, change, and feel comfortable. Each bunk functions as a homeroom and dressing area, equipped with benches and hooks so campers can easily change clothes twice daily for swim periods. Bunks also include a refrigerator for storing snacks and cold drinks.

Food — special diets and allergy accommodations

Nabby is nut-aware. We do not serve food with peanuts or tree nuts. If your child has food allergies or dietary needs, please inform us via your camper's health forms and contact us directly with any questions. Daily substitutes for lunch will include salad, bagels, sandwiches, yogurt, cereal and/or fruit.

Health — nut-aware policy and Epi-Pen certification

Camp Nabby is a 'nut-aware' day camp, which means we understand the severity of nut allergies and therefore do not serve any nut products. Camp Nabby is certified to administer Epi-Pens. Parents whose children require their own Epi-Pens will be asked to leave one in the health office along with a prescription from their doctor.

Parent communication — mobile app with daily photos and facial recognition

We like to communicate directly with parents via email and text, and introduced our own mobile app to provide reminders, event calendars, camp news and daily photo galleries. Once you enroll, we will encourage you to download our app and take advantage of our facial recognition technology to produce custom photo galleries of your camper(s).
