Free, all-day summer camp run by Henry Street Settlement on Manhattan's Lower East Side and delivered through its Boys & Girls Republic and Jacob Riis Cornerstone sites. Programming pairs academic support with STEM, athletics, social-emotional learning, arts and crafts, computers and music; the settlement's earlier description of Camp Henry emphasised preventing summer learning loss through sequential STEAM projects and literacy lessons alongside swimming and field trips. All sites and programs are licensed by the NYC Department of Health, and enrolment runs through the city's DiscoverDYCD portal rather than the settlement's own website.

★★★★★Steve CalandrinoAmazing place if looking for you kids to
★Nina noraso im pretty sure we live in the united states but for some reason the managers of this camp deem it fit to hang up flags of an international country. there is absolutely no reason why so many israel flags need to be hung up. this camp is for children, why make it a political statement? you dont see them hanging up flags for any other country either
★★★★★Jayden Laulots of space very clean and i love it. everything looks nice and there are many sports to play including kickball wiffle ball baseball football soccer gaga tennis basketball lacrosse and many more. you can also play tag hide and seek in the smaller areas. i got here for camp and i love it. the lake/pond is nice and is full with wild life.
★★★★★Paris Svery spacious, lots of things to do like gaga, basketball, art, swimming, etc. walks to the camp area are pretty long but its very fun
★Antonia PulitoI would like to state that your campgrounds are beautiful and wonderful, particularly for children of all ages. I must though voice my concerns in a particular area and my heartbreaking disappointment. We have a “family day” event every year and the children as well as the adults have an amazing time. Unfortunately I did have a very negative experience this year. Please understand as I’m writing this I am absolutely in agreement that “safety” is a #1 priority especially when it comes to children. I have 2 children with autism and feel staff need to be trained not only on safety for all children, but also on the “different types” of children and their special needs as well. My concern is when 1 particular individual whom is supposed to be in a role of “safety” is not understanding or willing to understand the challenges my children and I face. I did speak to the lifeguard supervisor on duty and expressed my concerns about what transpired, but feel more training needs to be done in this particular area. Let me add, there was no safety issue at all. I would like for understanding and respect that we all deserve. And this will not deter me from visiting for another family day and denying my children a fun day.
