Hello MK Fam,
With winter break wrapping up, you may be ready to find the perfect summer camps in and around New York for your little ones. With so many choices, I decided to save us all some time by attending the Westchester Family Ultimate Camp Fair & Activity Expo last month. It was incredibly helpful as I had the opportunity to connect with amazing camps, meet their leadership teams, and get the scoop on what families value in a summer program.
A huge THANK YOU to the families, camp directors, and organizers who made it possible.
Combined with my own outreach and our national listings, I've created the 2025 Rockland County, NY Summer Camp Guide—a trusted, local resource featuring real parent-to-parent reviews and recommendations for families across Rockland, Bergen, and Westchester counties.
๐ Discover Top-Rated Camps – From day camps to sleepaway camps, adventure camps and sports camps to STEM and arts camps—we’ve got it all.
๐ Read Parent Reviews – Get honest, real-life feedback from local families who have attended these camps.
๐ Find the Right Fit – Compare camp options based on location, age group, activities, and budget.
Parents are already searching for the best summer camps in New York, and Macaroni Kid Nanuet is where Orangetown families turn for trusted recommendations. Our 2025 NY Summer Camp Guide connects camps, activity programs, and family-friendly businesses with thousands of local families in Rockland, Bergen, and surrounding counties.

Sponsored Camp Wood Haven
Discover a summer where confidence grows, friendships form fast, and every day feels like an adventure. Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania’s Camp Wood Haven is the kind of place where girls in grades 1-12 unplug from screens and plug into nature, creativity, and leadership in a way that feels exciting—not forced.
Imagine waking up in a tree house, Conestoga wagon, or Adirondack cabin to fresh air and birdsong, then spending the day exploring wooded trails, trying new outdoor skills, creating hands-on crafts, and laughing around camp with a supportive community. Camp Wood Haven overnight programs blend classic camp magic with purposeful growth, helping campers build independence, resilience, and teamwork while still having the time of their lives. Plus, Wood Haven is known for its top-quality equestrian programs!
Here, girls don’t just participate, they belong. With caring staff, age-appropriate activities, and an environment designed to build confidence, campers leave with more than memories. They leave with stronger voices, braver hearts, and friendships that last long after summer ends.
Ready to give her a summer she’ll never forget? Come to Camp Wood Haven - for all girls, not just Girl Scouts!
