Dear Camp Families,

Spring is in full swing, and the Crestwood campus is beginning to bloom. Soon our grounds will be filled with campers having fun in their favorite place. Our staff is busier than ever getting everything ready for our best summer ever. Another priority of ours is to make sure you and your family are equally prepared and ready to make the most of the amazing eight weeks to come.

We ask that you carefully review all the documents and information below:

SPECIAL EVENTS 2023 CALENDAR – Click Here
Children look forward to our special events all year. Every year new and exciting special events are mixed with popular Crestwood favorites to create a summer calendar filled with fun, adventure, and spirit. Your child will come home every day anxious to tell you about the fun they had and excited about what awaits them tomorrow.
 
This summer, campers can look forward to the Water Carnival, the K-Cup Tournament, Crestwood Games (our Color War), Dress-Up Days, Group Talent Shows, Camper Glow Party, Harlem Wizards Basketball Show, and of course the Crestwood Carnival. Many more camp-wide and divisional events plus surprises are in store for your children this summer. Our Division Heads and Group Leaders will keep you up to date all summer about which events are for your child’s age group and what’s coming up next.
