• Schedule: Monday–Friday, 9:00 am–12:30 pm with enrichment programs from 1:00 pm–2:30 pm, offered July 6–24, 2026

Camp Summerset describes itself as the only camp of its kind and offers a creative and fun way for kids to connect with reading, writing, and self-expression. It is open to children entering Kindergarten through 5th grade from diverse backgrounds and learning styles. The camp states that its environment is conducive for stress-free learning, with a nurturing atmosphere where children are free to explore and take time to revel in their learning, and where a community of learners play, laugh, and grow. Camp Summerset has been nurturing creativity and young minds since 1991.

One testimonial notes that a parent reflects on “how truly amazing Camp Summerset has been” for their family and calls it “a very special place.” Another testimonial states that a parent “loved that outside activities were combined with creative reading and writing,” especially for two active boys. Additional testimonials report that one child started the school year with “a whole new positive outlook about reading,” and another child who had avoided reading before camp began reading books that he chose himself from the library.

Camp Summerset is connected with The Learning Institute, which accepts donations by mail at Camp Summerset The Learning Institute, PO Box 186, Goldens Bridge, New York 10526.
