The Comprehensive Mom Audit
1. Program Focus & Daily Activities
18 Shaded Acres of Sports Leagues, Swim Progression & Field Day Traditions in Croton-on-Hudson. Designed for Ages 3 to 14. Some Ages 3 to 14 activities at Maplewood Summer Day Camp were genuinely engaging; others felt like filler between the highlights. Sessions run 2 to 8 Weeks, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM daily.
2. Aquatics & Water Safety
Pool access is inconsistent — some weeks get real instruction, others are closer to unsupervised splash time. (per our Croton-on-Hudson visit, est. 1991)
3. Staffing & Supervision Standards
Camper-to-counselor ratios sit at 1:4 (Pre-K), 1:6 (Elementary), 1:8 (Tweens). Staff at Maplewood Summer Day Camp lean young, and supervision quality depended heavily on which specific counselor was on duty.
4. Logistics, Transportation & Catering
Carline at Maplewood Summer Day Camp was disorganized during our visit, and we heard mixed reports on how consistently allergy protocols are enforced.
Tuition Range: $1540 – $1790 / week
