Camp Summerset

Camp Summerset is a reading and writing summer camp where children take part in activities such as reading, writing, hiking, using the playground, and playing on a large playing field. The camp describes itself as the only camp of its kind, offering 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.

Camp Summerset describes its environment as conducive to stress-free learning, with a nurturing atmosphere where children are free to explore and take time to revel in their learning. The program states that it has been nurturing creativity and young minds since 1991 and describes itself as a place where a community of learners play, laugh, and grow. The camp identifies as a Westchester County reading camp and a reading/writing summer camp.

The mission statement says that Camp Summerset is a place where imaginations soar and that it is open to all children entering Kindergarten to 5th grade from diverse backgrounds and learning styles. The program also notes an opportunity for community involvement through donations to The Learning Institute.

Parent testimonials describe Camp Summerset as “a very special place” for one family and mention that outside activities were combined with creative reading and writing. One testimonial reports that a child started the school year with a new positive outlook about reading, and another notes that a child who had avoided reading before camp began choosing books from the library after attending Summerset.
