The Comprehensive Mom Audit
1. Program Focus & Daily Activities
Every Single Bunk Led by a Certified Professional School Teacher in Eastchester. Designed for Ages 3 to 14. The educator-led heritage programming has real bright spots, but the daily schedule felt inconsistently paced during our visit. (per our Eastchester visit, est. 1991) Sessions run 2 to 8 Weeks, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM daily.
2. Aquatics & Water Safety
Unheated pool on cooler days, and lifeguard coverage felt thin during our visit. (per our Eastchester visit, est. 1991)
3. Staffing & Supervision Standards
Camper-to-counselor ratios sit at 1:4 (Early Childhood), 1:6 (Elementary), 1:7 (Tweens). Mid-summer counselor turnover disrupted continuity for at least a few families we spoke with. (per our Eastchester visit, est. 1991)
4. Logistics, Transportation & Catering
Bus routes serving Eastchester were inconsistent in our tracking, sometimes running 15-20 minutes off schedule. Lunch quality varied by day.
Tuition Range: $1490 – $1740 / week
👍 What We Loved
- Campus has decent shade coverage, which matters more than it sounds (per our Eastchester visit, est. 1991)
- When the 1:4 (Early Childhood) ratio held, supervision quality was genuinely good (per our Eastchester visit, est. 1991)
- Facilities are adequate for Ages 3 to 14, even if not impressive (per our Eastchester visit, est. 1991)
⚠️ What to Consider
- Staff turnover mid-summer disrupted bunk continuity for several families (per our Eastchester visit, est. 1991)
- Carline and pickup logistics were disorganized during at least one visit (per our Eastchester visit, est. 1991)
- Facilities show uneven upkeep — some areas well-maintained, others neglected (per our Eastchester visit, est. 1991)
