Summer Camp Recommendations

Hello, I'm looking for a few Summer Camp recommendations for 2 girls aged 10 and 5. If you can include prices weekly/monthly I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!   question 


In which town do you reside?

Are you looking for full day camp or is a half day ok?

 Maplewood, and full day.. Up to 5pm at least.


Kent Place in Summit.  Approx. $400-$600 per week I think.  Lunch included, but no transportation.  Before and aftercare available.


We've been very happy at Willow Lake.

eta:  Full day, pick up (usually around 8), drop off (usually around 4:40), and lunch included.  Kids typically come home exhausted from a fun day.


Our kids and granddaughter had wonderful times at Camp Riverbend.  They pickup and drop off. You can do it for varying numbers of weeks - I don't have current info, but they have an excellent website. They are in Warren, I believe - not all that far from the Berkeley Heights Summit Medical Group location, if that helps you place them.


My kids were campers and are now counselors at Meadowbrook.  Pros: Variety of activities, great pools, lunch included, pick up and drop off at the door (8-5 ish) aftercare available.  Cons:  Expensive, long bus ride (about an hour from our area), not very diverse.


Similar camps off the top of my head are Riverbend (closer) and Willowbrook as mentioned above, as well as Harbor Hills, Harmony (also closer) and Jeff Lakes.  Pros and cons to all of them but I think they are in the same expensive ballpark per week.


My kids love camp so much even as counselors they talk about it all year.
