The Comprehensive Mom Audit
1. Program Focus & Daily Activities
Private Spring-Fed Lake, Stand-Up Paddleboarding & Heated Pools in Tuckahoe. Designed for Ages 4 to 15. Stillwater of Tuckahoe Waterfront Adventure Camp's schedule balances lakeside & waterfront activities with enough free time that campers didn't seem over-programmed. Sessions run 2 to 8 Weeks, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM daily.
2. Aquatics & Water Safety
Swim instruction happens on a consistent schedule, with lifeguards visibly attentive during our visit. (per our Tuckahoe visit, est. 1966)
3. Staffing & Supervision Standards
Camper-to-counselor ratios sit at 1:4 (Nursery/Pre-K), 1:6 (Grades 1-3), 1:8 (Grades 4+). Counselor training covers the essentials; nothing exceptional, but nothing that raised concerns either. (per our Tuckahoe visit, est. 1966)
4. Logistics, Transportation & Catering
Transportation logistics at Stillwater of Tuckahoe Waterfront Adventure Camp are functional and mostly on time; catering covers the basics — hot lunch, nut-free policy, afternoon snacks.
Tuition Range: $1190 – $1440 / week
