WELCOME
Town of Hoosick Camp is a seven-week program for children entering Kindergarten through Sixth grade in September 2023. The program runs from Monday, June 26 to June 30 and July 10 to Friday, August 18th. The program meets from 8:00am – 4:30pm with additional morning or afternoon hours available for an additional fee. This structured, well-supervised program is licensed by the New York State Health Department and provides an opportunity for children to use their summer leisure time constructively.

Campers are assembled in age appropriate groups and have a counselor assigned to them. Counseling staff is required to complete training that includes first aid, playground safety and recognizing abuse. The program requires a strict counselor to camper ratio to provide a safe, fun experience for your camper.
