Merrick Woods Summer Day Camp has run since 1956 on a wooded, landscaped campus at 1075 Merrick Avenue with three heated pools, sprawling ball fields and rustic craft shops. Campers are grouped as Younger Camp (entering nursery, pre-K and kindergarten), Traditional Camp (entering grades 1-4), Tween Explorer (entering grades 5-6, with two trips a week) and Top Notch Teens travel (entering grades 7-9, running since 1978 with dated day trips and overnight trips); the pre-school division is described for ages 3 and 4 with 2, 3 or 5 day options. The full-day programme runs 9:30am-4:15pm with extended hours available from 7:00am to 6:00pm, and the 2026 season is eight weeks from June 29 to August 21. Tuition includes door-to-door bus transportation or extended hours, camp lunch (not for Top Notch Teens), all materials, a complete course in Red Cross swim instruction, towel service and daily snacks, with a sibling discount of 5% off the lesser tuition for a second child and 15% for a third. The camp is licensed by the Nassau County Department of Health and inspected twice yearly.

★★★★★M KAll three of my kids went to pre-school here and all had an outstanding experience. It was tearful when our last one graduated and our time there was done. All of the teachers & staff were outstanding and we felt that they enabled our children to have the best first experience of school. Thank you so much for all that you do.
★★★★★Lars Duhaneyhi, great camp especially the art staff 10/10
★★★★★David KilkennyBoth of my kids have been attending Merrick Woods for years now. They have grown up through the years enjoying every year they have attended. The rates are competitive and the bus service and meals provided have been excellent. Def worth a look if you’re considering a summer camp.
★★★★★Harpreet SinghI normally don't write reviews however I think Merrick Woods deserve one as this might help families that research online and looking to enroll their little ones. Both of my kids went to this school and loved every moment of it. They both attended summer camp as well. All of the Staff is nice, accommodating and caring. I would highly recommend this preschool to any parent looking to send their precious ones. Hope this helps.
