Phenomenal place to bring your kids to tire themselves out in. First time coming here and my kids had an absolute BLAST of a time. Staff was super friendly and very helpful !

I attended this camp when I was a child, and now that I have children of my own my wife and I decided to enroll them. Evan and Jon are both great - they were my counselors when I was a child, and I have confidence in their ability to lead the camp and steward my children during the summer. Given the previous summer of boredom and isolation, I was a bit concerned about how my children would integrate with the camp and if they would have rich and educational social interactions, especially in the first two weeks. Janice was extremely attentive to my concerns, and took the time to listen, observe and relay how my children were adapting. This was comforting and insightful, and I appreciate the attention I was given. Even though this is my children's first summer attending, I can see this being a long-term relationship with Ivy League Day Camp. I look forward to hearing about the friends my children make every night, and the fun activities in which they were able to participate. I am truly grateful that Evan and Jon have been able to continue the experience I was able to have when I was younger.

I attended this Summer Camp back in 1996 and I do not mean to brag but this camp beats sitting in your backyard all summer. I attended the Pee-Wee traveling camp and Club Getaway in Connecticut was fantastic. I was only 13 years old and my mother really exceeded my expectations sending me this summer camp. We did a lot of traveling we were not in the camp a lot but there was eight swimming pools for the younger campers to enjoy along with lots of activities. I know the prices seem kind of steep but, can you really put a price tag on your child summer entertainment?

Part 1 of Wedding Review: One year ago today, I got married at Ivy League Day Camp! My wife and I had a crazy idea for a non-traditional wedding. After doing some initial searches online, we stumbled upon Ivy League Day Camp. From the moment we first visited the camp and met Jonathan Leiser (who is possibly one of the nicest guys we have ever met), we instantly knew that this was the place where we HAD to have our wedding! The sky was the limit for us. Anything we came up with, we were met with the response, "We can make that happen!" Not only was this their first wedding, but they had to appease not one, but two, brides! No one batted an eye that this would be a same-sex wedding, which made it even more clear that this was the place we had to have our wedding. Not only that, but the owners knew their camp so well, that they were able to guide us through the process with ease and help us make all of the big decisions. Firstly, Jon suggested to us that we get married under the large gazebo. This was an excellent option that we had not even considered. After it was decorated, it looked rustic yet sophisticated. It looked like something straight out of Pinterest. My wife and I could not believe how beautiful it looked. Moreover, this was a great choice as there were a few short rain showers during the ceremony. After the ceremony, while the bridal party took care of a few last minute things before first dances, the guests were welcome to a cocktail hour with frozen margaritas, which were a major hit! Then, we came out and did first dances in a smaller gazebo. After a few speeches, we unleashed all of our friends and family onto the camp. The best part of having our wedding at Ivy League Day Camp was giving everyone we love the chance to be a kid again that day. It was almost like being able to give everyone who has loved and cared for us a mini vacation! All of our friends and family were able to take that day to shed any stress or real-world worries and just play with their kids and their friends! Our friends and family from all walks of life were racing each other on pedal go-karts, battling it out on the bumper boats, cheering each other on at the rockwall, playing in the pools, running around on the splash pads, playing soccer and softball, and enjoying the mini-golf course, as well. They were also getting shot out of the water slides which were AWESOME! Many new friendships were made at this camp. Some people were just relaxing in the picnic area with some of the best fried chicken we have ever had! The entire food service was incredible. The staff must have worked unbelievably hard to pump out that kind of food volume - we had 7 hours of continuous hot food! We even splurged and got the cotton candy and snow cone vendors, which made our wedding reception feel like a carnival. The best part of that was watching all of the kids readying their argument to buy splurgy treats and then finding out that they were free! Our nephew had at least 6 snow cones. Getting to watch all of the kids at our wedding have a "no limits day" - running from one amusement to another - was the best. Can you imagine being a kid at an amusement park or carnival and never having to hear "no" or "that's too expensive" ? The whole day was jam-packed with joy and endless possibilities. Being able to include kids at our reception made the day a true celebration of family.
