Our children love camp for the day to day activities, the special events, the pool, the zip line, mini golf and the list goes on and on....but mostly, they love camp because of the incredible freindships they make with the other campers, the counselors and all the staff. The memories are priceless and the relationships everlasting!!!!!

We have 3 boys who have been attending PDC since they were 3 years old. They love the enthusiasm of the counselors, the feeling that they are so special even if the group is large. As parents, we are so impressed with the variety of the activities and in particular the swimming program. Our children, who are now 13, 11 and 6 all are fabulous swimmers and have been complimented on their swimming expertise. I always answer that they learned how to swim at PDC! We love PDC and would recommend it to anyone!!

Purchase Day Camp is like home for my boys. They attended pre-school here and attend after school activities too. So for them they know a lot of the staff and feel safe and comfortable at camp. As a parent their safety and happiness is all that matters so why wouldn't I send them to PDC? The interaction and knowledge of sports that the boys gain from the older male counselors is awesome.

Purchase Day Camp has a fabulous program, but what puts this camp a notch above the rest is their extraordinary staff. Year after year, the counselors are simply outstanding...

Our two little girls have been Purchase Day Campers for several years: To them, summer is Purchase Day Camp. They love it!! It is fun, wholesome, safe and a terrific learning environment with an incredible staff of young people who are great role models. They are both very good swimmers due to the professional swim program provided each day throughout the summer. How lucky they are to have such a wonderful opportunity, experience and memory. Isn't it all about memory building?!

We have been associated with Purchase Day Camp since 1986 when our first son attended. Since then, all four of our children have attended or worked for 40 camp years. Having checked other day camps, sleep-away camps, sports camps etc., we have seen no program as fine as Purchase. What makes it so unique is the camper/counselor ratio, the returning counselors and campers, the varied schedule and the facilities.

We love the variety of activities and continue to be delighted with the kids' progress in swimming. The consistently high caliber of counselors is remarkable; they really bond with the kids and truly understand their responsibilities as role models for them.

At Purchase Day Camp, we focus on each camper's best interests. Our goal is to help your child grow socially and emotionally. Our counselors use sensitivity, enthusiasm and encouragement to build self-esteem. People often ask me what makes PDC better than other camps; I tell them the answer is our large number of returning TEAM Members. They make the camp safe and fun, and that's why we have over a 75% return rate of campers. - James E. Kelly - Director
