About
Mythik Camps features mythology-themed programs where campers take part in spirited swordplay that mirrors epic battles and spend time crafting ancient Greek arts and crafts. The camp uses myths, legends, and the art of storytelling so that campers become active participants in their own mythological odysseys, with immersive and engaging lessons and activities inspired by Percy Jackson and other mythological heroes. The program includes an ever-evolving narrative with a fresh story each week, and Camp Mythik is a sleepaway camp for rising 6th–10th grades.

Parent testimonials describe the camp as “the best camp in NYC” and note that one family now drives in from Westchester each year “for the week to attend this camp.” One parent from California shared that their child “adored it and wanted to go back again and again,” and another from D.C. said their daughter “loves mythology so this was the perfect camp for her,” adding that she “came home with wonderful stories every day” and “made so many new friends.”
