Warm Up With Thoughts Of Summer Camp – Here Are 8 Great Camps Serving Sheepshead Bay
Time to escape the cold by thinking about summer – and where to ship those kids off to during the day so you can get some peace and quiet (or, you know, go to work). Sheepshead Bay has summer camps that create math geniuses and some that keep you outside on the beach. Here’s eight great camps serving our area, and a link to find many other great camps throughout the borough.
A Summer Adventure
Various locations. Park Slope, Williamsburg, Sheepshead Bay, Bay Ridge, Charleston, Grasmere

Are you looking for a camp that is both educational and enjoyable? FasTracKids Enrichment promises to keep kids learning. They have separate prep courses for core classes.

Mathnasium hosts a special summer program for all school-age children who don’t want to fall behind.
Sports & Arts in Schools Foundation
This half- or full-day option is entirely public funded which is great for parents looking for affordable summer camps, but tenuous for the Foundation’s budget. The site still has 2014 information up. Emailthem for the 2015 application deadline.
