Directions

BY CAR:
•    Take the Verrazano Bridge into Staten Island and continue straight ahead onto the Staten Island Expressway.
•    Proceed to the Slosson Ave/Todt Hill exit.
•    Enter the service road and continue straight ahead to the second traffic signal located on the corner of Manor Road.
•    Turn left onto Manor Road and continue straight up the hill passing a shopping center on your right and some stores on the left.  The last business on your left is a gas station.
•    Continue onward passing some houses and follow the trees on your left (about 200 yards).
•    You will see a white, brown and green sign reading “Henry Kauffman Campgrounds”.  On Sundays and pre-camp visits, you will continue past the sign (approx. 50 yards) to the break in the trees on your left and enter the parking lot.
•    We are directly across from Susan Wagner High School.  If you reach the Staten Island JCC on your right, then you’ve gone too far.


BY FERRY:
•    Take the Staten Island Ferry across to Staten Island.
•    Take any bus from ramp A to Manor Road and transfer to the bus going up Manor Road towards Brielle and Manor Road (Susan Wagner High School).
•    Dismount and enter the campgrounds at the white, brown and green “Henry Kauffman Campgrounds” sign.  It may take an hour.
