The Comprehensive Mom Audit
1. Program Focus & Daily Activities
Individual Artist Studios, Fashion Design & Creative Mentorship in New Rochelle. Designed for Ages 4 to 14. The fine arts, pottery & theater programming has real bright spots, but the daily schedule felt inconsistently paced during our visit. (per our New Rochelle visit, est. 1979) 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 New Rochelle visit, est. 1979)
3. Staffing & Supervision Standards
Camper-to-counselor ratios sit at 1:5 (Early Arts), 1:7 (Master Studios). Staff at Proscenium of New Rochelle Drama & Clay Camp lean young, and supervision quality depended heavily on which specific counselor was on duty.
4. Logistics, Transportation & Catering
Carline at Proscenium of New Rochelle Drama & Clay Camp was disorganized during our visit, and we heard mixed reports on how consistently allergy protocols are enforced.
Tuition Range: $1210 – $1460 / week
👍 What We Loved
- Campus has decent shade coverage, which matters more than it sounds (per our New Rochelle visit, est. 1979)
- A core group of veteran counselors clearly cares about the kids (per our New Rochelle visit, est. 1979)
- Facilities are adequate for Ages 4 to 14, even if not impressive (per our New Rochelle visit, est. 1979)

- Staff turnover mid-summer disrupted bunk continuity for several families (per our New Rochelle visit, est. 1979)
- We heard mixed reports on how allergy protocols are actually enforced (per our New Rochelle visit, est. 1979)
