Summer Camps in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn

6 camps · Brooklyn

4 open for registration

Prospect Heights is small (a tight pocket of Brooklyn between Flatbush Avenue and Washington Avenue) but the camp situation is actually stronger than the size suggests. Six programs, all grounded in the neighborhood’s genuine institutional assets: the Brooklyn Museum, Prospect Park Zoo, and Prospect Park itself.

The Brooklyn Museum Summer Art Camp is the obvious centerpiece. It’s an 8-week visual arts program for kids ages 8–13 at $700/week, one of the best museum-based arts camps in Brooklyn, using the actual collection as source material. If your kid is serious about visual art, this is the one.

Prospect Park Zoo Summer Camp (Wildlife Conservation Society, same organization as Queens Zoo and Bronx Zoo) runs wildlife and science programming for ages 4–13 at $150–$775/week, unusually wide price range, reflecting different session types and lengths. Trail Blazers Summer Camp for older kids (ages 8–17) runs outdoor adventure and nature programming in Prospect Park.
