The Comprehensive Mom Audit
1. Program Focus & Daily Activities
Water Sports, Kayak Obstacles & Shaded Waterfront Pavilions in Mount Kisco. Designed for Ages 4 to 15. The lakeside & waterfront curriculum here is genuinely rigorous — not recreational time dressed up as programming. Sessions run 2 to 8 Weeks, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM daily.
2. Aquatics & Water Safety
Twice-daily heated pool instruction led by WSI-certified staff, with a strict low-ratio pool deck. Every session we observed had a certified instructor actively teaching, not just watching. (per our Mount Kisco visit, est. 2018)
3. Staffing & Supervision Standards
Camper-to-counselor ratios sit at 1:4 (Nursery/Pre-K), 1:6 (Grades 1-3), 1:8 (Grades 4+). Bunk leaders are certified teachers or collegiate coaches, backed by a full-time on-site nurse and a staff return rate north of 70%. (per our Mount Kisco visit, est. 2018)
4. Logistics, Transportation & Catering
Pickup and drop-off in Mount Kisco are about as painless as this category gets, and the kitchen at Beaver Creek of Mount Kisco Aquatics Camp takes allergy protocols seriously rather than as an afterthought.
Tuition Range: $1270 – $1520 / week
