Deer Mountain Day Camp

★★★★★Nia, Lens Go

So pleased to have attended a private event at this camp. There are no shortage of activities to enjoy. We had access to swimming, the movement studio, basketball, handball, pickelball, soccer, volleyball, and so many others. The meal was prepared on a large outdoor grill and served in the spacious camp cafeteria. Staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and available. The grass must havs been treated because there were no mosquitoes. Everything waa very clean.

The team, atmosphere and passion to provide an enriching environment for children at Deer Mountain is one-of-a-kind! They are amazing at what they do and what they offer, and the reason why my son will be going back there this coming Summer 2025. From the ease and assurance, I feel confident with DMDC!

Deer Mountain is an incredible day camp. Roberta and Carol are experts at what they do. The staff is kind, friendly and professional. They take pride in their jobs and genuinely love to be at Deer Mountain. The facilities are spotless. My son loved every activity and blossoms there year after year. Additionally they are incredibly accommodating (and happy to be) for our kosher dietary needs. There is nothing I would add or take away from this gem of a camp. Thank you!!

I just wanted to take a moment to share with you how fantastic this camp really is and all that they did for kids during the 2020 Pandemic. I know this was a very trying summer for all. This year was tough on camps too. So many preparations, so many changes, but DMDC managed to take a chance and make the best of it and offered a great program for our kids. My son loved to participate in all the summer activities. He came home every day happy. The best part is it helped him with social skills again and it helped him stay fit. In comparison, he didn't gain any quarantine weight like his counterparts from school did because they stayed inactive all summer. He loved art outdoors, he loved grill cooking instead of indoor cooking, he love archery, gaga, swim, basketball, softball... all of it. The best part for my son was Color Olympics. He was so happy to be on the White Team and to have won that he came home telling me I was right, he would love camp. Camp was awesome this summer. He told me thank you for sending me to DMDC. I wanted to thank the entire staff on their safety measures and for keeping the kids safe for 6 weeks. Not a single person contracted the virus. I can't believe the summer is over. I want to cry that camp ended! Tears of joy for giving us weeks of activities and happiness and tears of sadness that the summer has came to an end. Thank you again for making Quarantine 2020 memorable in a good way.

Deer Mountain is an integral part of my family. I started as a camper in 1979 and my kids started in 2007 and 2011. To say that we have all grown up at Deer Mountain would not be an overstatement. When it was time for my own children to start camp, it never even occurred to me to look anywhere else. That was not a mistake! They have both had the same wonderful experiences I had as a camper, but have also benefited from the camp's evolution to the 21st century. The staff, program, special events, etc are all amazing. My kids have learned so many valuable skills (the least of which being amazing swimmers) and made lifelong friendships at Deer Mountain. They have had counselors they look up to and are true role models. They feel safe to try new things, yet always look forward to the annual camp traditions too. As a parent, I have always felt confident in their safety (physical and emotional) being in good hands at camp. I recommend Deer Mountain wholeheartedly!!
