New Town Day Camp

New Town Day Camp

For Children 2–5 Years
June 28 – August 12

At the 14Y’s New Town Day Camp (NTDC) children gather together for adventures and to make friends in a safe and fun environment. Activities include play in our gymnasium, swim in our indoor heated pool, outdoor roof play, and so much more!  

Registration for summer 2022 is closed. Check back for information about summer 2023!

Please note there is no camp on Monday, July 4. 

Children will enjoy playtime in the 14Y’s wonderful facilities, including its heated indoor pool, gymnasium and well-equipped air-conditioned classrooms. They especially love playing every day on our beautifully constructed rooftop playground, complete with sprinklers and shaded areas. To maximize children’s social opportunities, campers are divided by age group.

Campers, ages 3 and older* follow the 14Y’s American Red Cross Learn to Swim program, taught by certified water safety instructors with the help of camp counselors.

“Summer Camp at 14Y was the best choice for my toddlers! The environment is packed with fun-filled activities including swimming every day, and yet the counselors and staff made time to ensure my kids’ emotional needs were met. I am grateful to have found an exciting and loving summer spot!”
—Camp Parent

Health and Safety 

At the 14Y, safety is a paramount concern. That is why we have implemented policies and procedures to keep our children and families safe while being a warm and nurturing environment.

To ensure a safer environment, we have made changes, including smaller class sizes, staggered drop-off times, health screenings, PPE requirements, new HVAC filters, and require all staff to be fully vaccinated.

In accordance with Department of Health guidelines, it is recommended that children over 2 years old wear masks, but it no longer required. In respect to the health decisions of each family, please let us know if you’d like your child to continue wearing a mask.

Camp staff are fully vaccinated, and we require all campers who are eligible for approved COVID-19 vaccines to be fully vaccinated by their first day of camp. Please note that these guidelines may be subject to change.

Learn more about our health and safety guidelines.

For more details on our health and safety protocols, please contact Jill Shely, Director of New Town Day Camp, JShely@14streety.org.

Swimming at New Town Day Camp

Campers ages 3 and older learn the complex physical skills of swimming following Red Cross Swim Skills: water safety, breath and buoyancy control, front & back float, streamlining, and basic stroke mechanics.

All classes are taught by certified Water Safety Instructors. Children are grouped according to their ability. Our low student/teacher ratio (5 students to 1 instructor) ensures that your child receives optimal focus and attention throughout the course.

Swim schedule:

• Full-day Campers 3 – 5 years old swim 4 – 5 times a week
• Half-day Campers 3 – 5 years old swim 2 – 3 times a week
• Children under 2 do not swim at camp but enjoy playing in the sprinklers on the roof daily!

NTDC Sample Schedules for Summer 2022

Please note that these are Sample Day Schedules, and that each day will vary.  All children will participate in yoga, music, art and gym time/soccer, and weekly special activities and events. On Friday we all celebrate Shabbat!
