Oasis Day Camp - Park Slope is part of Oasis Day Camps, which have operated in the metropolitan New York City area since 2000 and began with a first camp in Central Park serving 50 campers before expanding to multiple locations serving over 1,000 campers each year. Programs offered include Early Start Imagination Camps for Pre-K through Kindergarten, Day Camps for campers entering grades 1–6, Teen Travel Camps for campers entering grades 5–10, and a Counselor-in-Training (CIT) program for campers entering grades 10 and 11. The camp day is structured with small groups and a calm, well-paced schedule, and includes a full Oasis program with enrichment activities, swim instruction, extended day options, and off-campus experiences for older campers.

Camp tuition includes extended hours, hot lunch and daily snacks, swim lessons, and camp gear, which consists of five Oasis t-shirts and an Oasis backpack for each camper. Oasis Day Camps are described as allergy-friendly and provide nut-free snacks, and campers who bring nuts sit in a designated allergen area. The program is screen-free and focuses on activities that explore identity, community connection, and curiosity about the world.

Staff members are background checked and receive first aid and CPR training, as well as comprehensive pool safety, water safety, and first aid training. Every location has either an EMT or a registered nurse onsite, and the camp notes exceptionally low camper-to-staff ratios, senior staff members always present, medical professionals onsite, rigorous check-in and check-out procedures, strict walking protocols, an inclement weather plan, and regular hydration and shade breaks. Camp leaders and staff are education and youth development professionals, many with decades of experience as tenured teachers, administrators, or specialized support professionals.

The leadership team at Oasis Day Camp - Park Slope includes Jennifer Sanon, Head of Community, who has more than 15 years of experience working with children and families and has previously served as Group Counselor, Art Instructor, Division Leader, Program Director, and Operations Director. During the school year, she works as an intermediate mathematics teacher and Special Education representative. Oasis Day Camps engage with local and global communities and collaborate with the local community through excursions and community connections, and they partner with New York Department of Transportation–licensed bus companies for transportation.

A parent testimonial describes looking for a full-day camp experience in the city for a 3-year-old and notes that the child attended all eight weeks, took part in swimming several times a week, had lunch provided daily, and joined activities such as tie-dye, meeting a firefighter and a park ranger, a carnival, color water, and visits to sprinklers and the duck pond in Central Park, and that the child enjoyed the staff and counselors.
