Island Shores Day Camp
Island Shores is a private summer day camp for children ages 4–14 located on the beautiful waterfront campus of the Knox School in St. James. Your children’s safety, happiness and growth is at the heart of everything we do.
One of the most unique things about Island Shores is the variety of activities. No two weeks are the same. We take full advantage of our waterfront surroundings, private 40 acres of lush green hills and air conditioned spaces. We host special events ranging from petting zoos, magicians and cooking labs to beach volleyball, kayaking, treasure hunting and home run derbies…and that’s just the start.
At the heart of Island Shores is a collective commitment to providing children with space and guidance to be the best versions of themselves. We believe that summer camp presents an opportunity for children to decompress, laugh, smile, build confidence, make friends and be celebrated. Our philosophy is rooted in building self esteem through play, self expression, teaming and exploration. In a world that is noisy and hectic, Island Shores is a place where children come to be in the beautiful outdoors where they can hear themselves think, make new friends and enjoy being kids!
We welcome the partnership between your family and our camp family. We are always interested in hearing from parents so that we know exactly what your child needs. We are committed to continuous improvement and know that the best results come from open communication. We have an open door policy and want to hear from you!
We offer 1–8 week programs, with tremendous flexibility to accommodate your summer schedule. Lunch is included and bus transportation is available across Long Island!
