Summer Camps in St. George, Staten Island

Staten Island gets skipped in most NYC camp roundups, which is genuinely their loss. The St. George area has 9 solid programs, some of the most distinctive outdoor programming in any borough, and prices that are noticeably lower than comparable Manhattan or Brooklyn options. If you live on Staten Island, or if you’re willing to take the ferry (free, and one of the better commutes in the city), this is worth a look.

The Greenbelt Conservancy is the standout. High Rock Park sits inside the 2,800-acre Staten Island Greenbelt, the largest contiguous urban forest on the East Coast outside of Alaska, which is a sentence that surprises most people. Greenbelt summer programs run nature and outdoor education for ages 5–15 at $10/week, which is effectively free. For a nature-based outdoor camp in New York City at that price point, there’s nothing else like it.

Sunrise Day Camp is another program worth knowing about: it’s completely free for children with cancer and their siblings, ages 3–16. If you have a family member who could benefit, this is one of the most important programs in this directory.
