About
Crestwood Country Day Camp is part of Crestwood Country Day School, which is described as a leader in private nursery, pre-school, summer day camp, and teen travel on Long Island in Nassau and Suffolk County, NY. The program follows a mission statement called “CRESTWOOD – Where Acceptance, Respect, and Individuality Empower Children to be Creative, Collaborate with Others, Develop Independence and Cultivate Lifelong Friendships.”
• Ages: 1–17 years old
• Schedule: Weekday tours are available during camp and school hours by appointment, with summer camp tour start times at 10 AM or 11 AM; weekend tours are also offered at 10 AM or 11 AM by appointment.
Crestwood has been teaching what it calls 21st Century Skills, Non-cognitive Skills, Character Skills, and Social Skills since 1956. The program uses a mission and core set of values called “The Super 6”: Acceptance, Sportsmanship, Individuality, Praise the Effort over the Accomplishment, Independence, and Respect. Crestwood states that it only hires mature adults and teachers as Group Leaders for each group, and only hires college students and older as staff, with no CITs, junior counselors, or high school age counselors. Specialists at Crestwood are described as top teachers, coaches, and professionals. The program sends home progress reports and communicates with parents about a child’s development as a positive reinforcement tool. Crestwood emphasizes that the two months spent at camp are vital to having a full and complete education that provides social and non-cognitive learning. They state that they pride themselves on friendly and helpful customer service, aim to make families feel like part of the Crestwood Family, and that all calls and messages are returned promptly.

Parent testimonials describe children having a “wonderful summer” and loving “everything they did,” with one family noting that their children’s swimming skills “improved by leaps and bounds.” Another parent reports that the bus counselor helped keep a child laughing and calm during mornings with separation issues and was “thrilled with the swim lifeguards/program,” saying the child “made so much progress.” A third testimonial states that “the second you walk onto the property, the positive energy is everywhere,” and that their child tried new things, made new friends, and was “happy (and tired) all summer.”
