About
Sandy Hollow Day Camp offers day camp sessions that include a swim program overseen at all times by an American Red Cross certified Lifeguard/Water Safety Instructor (WSI). The camp setting is described as welcoming, nurturing, comfortable, and safe within a countrified landscape, and visitors experience a charming, warm, child-friendly environment. Families have described the camp as family-run and have noted that their children come home talking about art projects and fun activities, and some families start the day gathering around the flagpole and saying the Pledge of Allegiance.

Sandy Hollow Day Camp is family owned and operated and was built in 1969 by educators Bill and Bunny (Benita) Hughes on the site of a former pickle farm. The camp has been family run since 1969, has celebrated 50 years from 1969–2019, and is entering its 57th season. The founders are Benita Hughes, B.S., M.A., and William Hughes, B.S., M.S., and the directors are Elizabeth Hughes Barrie, B.A., and Eileen Hughes, B.F.A., M.S. Many of the personnel are certified in First Aid, CPR, and AED.
The camp’s stated goal is to provide campers with a happy and meaningful summer, with an atmosphere that supports its mission and philosophy of safety, fun, and learning. The directors state that each child should be treated as an individual and that the development of skills and attitudes through proper instruction and participation is essential to growth, with sound physical programs and creative activities offering many learning experiences. The camp notes that close relationships have been formed with hundreds of families and the surrounding communities, and that a majority of the counselors return each season.
Parent testimonials describe Sandy Hollow Day Camp as a fantastic camp run by a caring family, with staff described as excellent, kind, caring, and enthusiastic. Parents report that their children have attended for many summers, that their children come home with smiles and stories about activities and art projects, and that the camp has been operating for more than 30 years. One parent calls it the best camp in the Hamptons and says visiting the camp feels like stepping back into their own childhood.
