Why Camp?
Why Go To Summer Day Camp at Mill Basin Day Camp?
The familiar proverb, “It takes a whole village to raise a child,” expresses the complexities of child development in a simple way. Today, with children spending far less time with parents than in the past, their development is influenced by possibly hundreds of people, including teachers, counsellors, professors and coaches.
Like so many other valuable learning experiences, Queens Day camps help equip children with the skills they need to become happy, successful, contributing adults. Camps strive to develop positive self-esteem and nurture a child’s sense of community. By emphasizing doing and learning, not final evolution, camping experiences show that the act of trying, in and of itself, can be experienced as a success or accomplishment.
Day camps also provide ways for children to express themselves in a non-threatening, nurturing environment through a variety of sports, games, theater, crafts, nature projects, and swimming. As anyone who has ever been to a great camp knows, the possibilities are endless. Of course, development is more than physical growth. It is the process through which children mature socially, emotionally, intellectually and morally.
Join us at Mill Basin Day Camp, one of the leading summer camps in Brooklyn, NY, and give your child the opportunity to thrive in a supportive and engaging camp community.

CONFIDENCE
At the end of the summer, campers are ready for school because they have mastered new skills, and learned to be part of a team. They are buoyed by these successes, which carry them forward into the next school year. The staff at Mill Basin Day Camp encourages our campers to try no matter what their skill level.
TEAMWORK
Kids learn teamwork at camp. They work together for the benefit of something bigger than “Me.” When you work with others to complete an activity, you build bonds. Kids will learn to have their own voice within the group to be persuasive.
COMMUNITY
Children are under the same roof and with the same adults and peers for an entire day. Many camps create a close-knit community among staff, parents and children — something that typically does not happen in the school year. We are most proud of our camp “families” and many spend years being part of the MBDC Family.
EDUCATION PRESERVATION
Physical activity has proven to significantly aid children in memory retention. All young people experience learning losses when they do not engage in learning activities during the summer. Research shows that students typically score lower on standardized tests at the end of summer vacation than they do on the same tests at the beginning of summer vacation.
HEALTH & NUTRITION
MBDC understands the value of eating healthy so we provide a delicious and nutritious lunch and snack for ALL our campers on a daily basis.
Our commitment to health and nutrition ensures that campers not only have fun and engaging experiences but also learn the importance of making healthy food choices, making Mill Basin Day Camp, one of the leading summer camps in Brooklyn, NY,
