Kids in the Game

★★★★★ANNETTE CC

My child was entering 4th grade when he attended the Park Slope summer camp location last year. He had a great time! Every day, they offered different fun activities that kept him engaged and excited. They had swim days, field trips, and visits to the park on nice days where the kids could play and have fun. The staff were friendly, caring, and always helpful, which made us feel comfortable knowing our child was in good hands. It was a wonderful experience. We are looking forward to this summer.

Our 4-year-old had a fantastic experience at Kids in the Game summer camp at the Inwood location. The counselors were energetic, caring, and did an excellent job keeping the children engaged throughout the day. The camp offered a great mix of sports, games, and activities that kept things fun while helping the kids stay active, build confidence, and make new friends. One of our child's favorite highlights was the swimming lessons that were offered. He looked forward to them each week and was excited to share what he learned. It was wonderful to see him become more comfortable and confident in the water over the course of the summer. Most importantly, he was excited to go to camp each morning and came home happy, tired, and full of stories about his day. We would absolutely recommend Kids in the Game to other families looking for a fun, active, and well-organized summer camp experience.

My son is currently going into 4th and has been attending Kids in the Game for the past four years, both at the Riverdale and Crestwood locations, and we have had nothing but positive experiences. The staff is always welcoming, caring, and attentive, making every day enjoyable for the children. One of my son’s favorite parts of camp is receiving an ice pop at the end of the day—a simple gesture that he looks forward to all summer long! I highly recommend Kids in the Game to other parents. The camp offers a variety of engaging activities that keep children active, entertained, and never bored. Most importantly, the experienced staff genuinely cares about the children and works hard to create a fun, safe, and memorable environment. We couldn’t be happier with our experience.

Supportive, confidence-boosting, and exceptional communicators are the first words that come to mind when I think of Kids in the Game at the UES Yorkville location. Camp Director Pranav Mohan-Derkay and the entire staff create an environment where every child feels seen, valued, and welcomed. What impressed me most was that they seemed to know every student's name after just the first day of camp—a small detail that made a huge impact. My daughter, Khaleesi, is now 11 years old and is actually begging me to let her return this summer. She was accepted into another program, but she's genuinely disappointed that she won't be back at Kids in the Game this year. That says everything about the positive experience she had there. Thank you to Pranav and the entire team for fostering such a supportive, inclusive, and encouraging environment for our children. We highly recommend this program!

Our son has been a camper at Kids in the Game at the Carnegie Hill location for the last 3 years, starting in Pre-K, and we’ve had a fantastic experience. The staff really took the time to get to know our son and created an exciting, welcoming environment every day. Lisa, the camp director, was especially wonderful — she communicated regularly with us, was always responsive, and clearly cared deeply about the campers and families. Our son loved the variety of activities, especially the mix of sports, arts, and STEM. We also really appreciated how structured, supportive, and well-organized the program was. It gave him a great balance of fun, learning, and confidence-building throughout the summer. We highly recommend Kids in the Game to families looking for an engaging and positive camp experience.
