Activities

Arts & Crafts

Paint, glue, build, and imagine. Arts & Crafts is where creativity takes center stage. Campers explore hands-on projects that blend color, texture, and storytelling, from sculpting with clay and designing wearable art to creating nature-inspired pieces and collaborative works. Each activity encourages self-expression, patience, and pride in the creative process. With gentle guidance and plenty of freedom to explore, campers learn there is no wrong way to make art, only new ways to see the world.

Computer Technology

Curious minds meet cutting-edge tools in our Computer Technology program. Located at the Information Technology Center, our campers dive into coding, game design, and digital art projects that turn ideas into reality. Guided by expert instructors, every session sparks creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork. From building apps to designing interactive worlds, kids gain confidence and skills that power their future.

Dance

When the music starts, the magic begins! Campers learn fun steps and creative routines—from upbeat hip-hop to smooth modern moves—in the state-of-the-art Apex Center dance studio. Every session is filled with music, laughter, and confidence-building moments, guided by our experienced Dance Instructor and counselors who inspire growth and self-expression.

Nature Explorers

Step into a summer adventure where nature leads the way. On Lehman’s 37-acre campus, campers explore trails, gardens, and hidden green spaces while tracking bugs, spotting birds, planting seeds, and creating nature inspired art.

They build mini habitats, journal under the trees, and learn how ecosystems work, all while developing teamwork, confidence, and a deeper connection to the world around them. Guided by trained instructors, every camper feels supported, inspired, and excited to explore.

Reading & Writing Circle    

Every story begins with a spark, and here that spark grows into creativity that shines. Campers share ideas, explore books that challenge their thinking, and craft writing they are proud of, from poems and short stories to reflections inspired by the world around them. With caring guidance and a supportive environment, campers build confidence in their voices and discover the joy of expressing themselves through words.

Self-Defense  

Our self-defense program is about more than learning moves. It is about building mindset. In each session, campers learn practical skills to stay safe while developing confidence, focus, and respect. Instructors teach techniques rooted in discipline and awareness, turning every drill into a lesson in strength and self control. With the Bronx spirit behind them, campers discover that true power comes from preparation, courage, and character.

Sports     

From soccer and basketball to relay races and outdoor challenges, every activity gets kids moving, having fun, and feeling confident.

Our coaches bring the heart of the Bronx to every game, teaching teamwork, respect, and effort that matter on and off the field. Here, kids don’t just play—they find their strength, their rhythm, and a place in a community that cheers them on all summer long

S.T.E.M

Why just wonder when you can create? In STEM, curiosity turns into hands-on adventures as campers build circuits, design robots, and tackle challenges that make learning exciting. No boring worksheets—just real projects that spark imagination and teamwork. Every activity is a chance to experiment, learn from mistakes, and celebrate success. Campers don’t just learn science and math; they discover how to think, adapt, and dream big.

Yoga     

Yoga gives campers a chance to slow down, stretch, and feel good inside and out. Held in the Apex Center and on the Quad’s open green spaces, sessions blend movement, breathing, and mindfulness in playful, kid-friendly ways. Led by certified instructors, yoga helps build focus, flexibility, and confidence while teaching campers to listen to their bodies, manage emotions, and recharge during a busy summer day.
