Long Island's summer camp scene perfectly balances its natural coastal beauty with cutting-edge educational opportunities. From marine science programs at the Long Island Aquarium where kids get hands-on experience with sea life, to unique agricultural adventures at historic Benner's Farm, the region offers experiences you simply won't find elsewhere. The area's camps make the most of Long Island's diverse landscape - with waterfront activities along the Great South Bay, nature exploration in the Pine Barrens, and STEM programs at world-class facilities like Stony Brook University.
What sets these camps apart is their ability to combine fun with real-world learning: kids might spend one day learning about marine ecosystems at Cornell Cooperative Extension's Sea Explorers camp, and the next practicing sustainable farming techniques at one of the area's educational farms. Most programs run between $200-600 per week, making them reasonably accessible for many families.
