Oak Crest has become our family’s summer staple Since moving to the U.S. in 2022, we’ve taken our boys to Oak Crest every summer—and each year they can’t wait to go back. The camp delivers a full day that balances sports, water activities, creativity, and learning. Our kids come home tired, happy, and with a few new skills and stories. What stands out: Staff who are present and engaged. They’re committed to helping kids have fun, try new things, and feel comfortable. Facilities built for variety. Well‑maintained installations and plenty of outdoor spaces mean no two days look the same. Play with purpose. Teamwork, confidence, and curiosity show up naturally in the way activities are run. Oak Crest isn’t flashy; it’s consistently good. It’s the place our boys look forward to, and the camp we trust to make summer count.

Oak Crest Day Camp is absolutely amazing. My kids love it, and this coming summer will be their 6th year attending — that alone says everything. The staff is incredibly friendly, caring, and professional, and they truly make us feel comfortable knowing our kids are safe and well taken care of every day. Our kids come home excited, nonstop talking about their day and all the fun activities they did. It’s clear how much thought and effort the camp puts into making each day engaging and memorable. We genuinely love Oak Crest Day Camp and highly recommend it to any family looking for an outstanding summer camp experience.

An exceptional summer camp we truly trust! My son Miroslav has been attending this summer day camp for four consecutive summers, and that alone probably says more than any words. Year after year, he is genuinely excited to go back — and as a parent, that feeling of trust and confidence is priceless. This camp offers the perfect balance of fun, structure, creativity, and care. The counselors are not just attentive, but truly engaged — they know the kids, respect them, and make every child feel seen and valued. Miroslav came home every day with stories, new skills, new friends, and a big smile. What I appreciate most is the atmosphere: safe, warm, inclusive, and inspiring. It’s not just childcare — it’s a place where kids grow, gain confidence, and build memories that stay with them. After four summers, we can honestly say this camp has become part of our family’s summer tradition. I recommend it wholeheartedly to any parent looking for a camp where their child will be happy, supported, and excited to return. Thank you for making every summer special 💛

My daughter has been attending Oak Crest Day Camp for five years now and we could not be happier. She looks forward to going every summer and wakes up excited each morning of camp. My daughter loves the variety of activities offered such as skateboarding, cooking, ceramics, ziplining, and fencing to name just a few. She also loves getting to swim twice a day and has advanced from a total beginner to participating in swim meets with other camps. In addition to the fun everyday activities, the camp also offers special events like late nights at camp, Showcrest, parent visiting day, water carnival, and a trip to the beach. My daughter really enjoys the food at camp and I enjoy not having to pack a lunch and drinks everyday. The Oak Crest owner, Jonathan, does a fabulous job hiring staff. My daughter’s counselors have been so wonderful and some have even stayed in touch to this day. The office staff, Lisa and Sharon, are welcoming, friendly, and professional. Longtime camp staff, Rohan and Maya, are truly some of the nicest people ever and always treat the kids so kindly. I am grateful for the chance Oak Crest gives my daughter to be a kid - outside, with other kids her age, and without any screens. If you’re thinking of sending your child to summer camp, I highly recommend Oak Crest Day Camp.

My children have spent their summer at Oak Crest the past 2 years and are looking forward to going back this summer as well! It's such an amazing experience for them, with a wide variety of activities to keep them busy all day long. They enjoyed having a "choice" period to explore what interests them most. The swim lessons in the morning and free swim in the afternoon are invaluable, both my daughters learned to swim within the first weeks! We loved family visiting day and Showcrest, and most of all we loved how happy our kids came home everyday! Thank you Oakcrest!!!!
