There are so many great outdoor activities. My child has been excited every day to go to camp. I have never seen him this excited.

What a fantastic camp experience for Harlow! She was thrilled with the diverse activities and developed a wonderful bond with her counselor. It was such a positive time that she's already counting down the days until she can go back!

My daughter has been going to this camp for 4 years now. She looks forward to going to camp every year! She meets new kids every year and has some returning friends she gets excited to see again. The camp counselors are great and have made each summer memorable for my daughter. So thankful for the opportunity my daughter has to learn and explore every day at camp.

Our son LOVES going to camp here. The campus is beautiful, the staff is kind and competent, and the activities are fun. This was his third year, and we look forward to him continuing his BMDC experience each year, as he grows.

My grandson is attending and is having the time of his life. He will be 13 in July and is so so happy at your camp. He even tells me all about it, I usually get "it was great." Not this time, he talks and talks about his day!!

My daughter is one week in and several more to go enjoying summer camp at Blue Mountain Day Camp. The staff is great and attentive. The daily communication from the camp director to all camp families is very well accepted. You can tell C. Koch loves what she does and in doing so helps ease parents minds that our children are safe, well cared for and having fun. I’m happy to be able to give my daughter this experience and we look forward to the remaking weeks of the summer and years to come!

My daughter is thriving! I really appreciate how well the staff handled the hot weather last week. I also love that they keep on top of her needing sunscreen - she's a busy kid and its not always easy to get her to pause and reapply - they are masters at it! Can't wait for a full summer of fun!

My kids had a fabulous time at Blue Mountain Day Camp for two weeks in 2023 and five weeks in 2024. They're begging me to send them there for the entire summer next year! The counselors were excellent, the outdoor activities and swimming are unmatched, and we love that the kids have an old-fashioned, adventure-filled summer with new friends.

West Caldwell, NJ
I love that my daughter gets to spend a lot of time outdoors, swim in the lake, meet new people and make new friends. She is always sad when her time at BMDC is over. The staff are excellent and very communicative about busing, what's going on at camp, and if my daughter has any needs or challenges. Looking forward to sending my daughter again next summer!

We have special needs children and the staff really works with you if the children are having a hard time! They work with the parents to come up with a strategy that will get the children to listen and have a good time!

Our granddaughter Olivia enjoyed the most swimming in the lake, volleyball, live music and dancing while waiting to be picked up by the bus, bus riding to and from the camp and the staff of the Camp. She made a lot of new friends. Olivia liked the Camp so much that she wants to return to the Blue Mountain Day Camp next Summer for two sessions instead of one.
