Beekman Rec offers a summertime of friendship and fun in the outdoors. The goal of the camp program is to provide campers with unique, safe and engaging experiences that spark creativity, encourage friendship, build self confidence and make life long memories!

What makes us Special?

Adventure TRIPS for Seniors

SWIM LESSONS for Squirts & Juniors

We have Specialty Counselors! that design fun and engaging activities in nature and science, arts and crafts, drama and games and link those activities to each session

We group campers by age groups and each group has 2 counselors that care for those children, looking out for their needs, getting to know them and helping them build friendships. Our groups are Squirts (entering grades 1-3), Juniors (entering grades 4-5) & Seniors Adventurers (entering grades 6-9).

In addition, we have a Sports group for campers entering grades 4-9 who prefer a sports emphasis in their programming

We have a phenomenal Leadership training program for youth ages 14-16 who have the opportunity to develop leadership skill under the guidance of a staff member specifically trained to work with teens!

We have unique spirit and traditions!

We are like a family with many of our favorite counselors returning!
