The Comprehensive Mom Audit
1. Program Focus & Daily Activities
Every Single Bunk Led by a Certified Professional School Teacher in Peekskill. Designed for Ages 3 to 14. Some Ages 3 to 14 activities at Wellington of Peekskill Collegiate 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 Peekskill visit, est. 2019)
3. Staffing & Supervision Standards
Camper-to-counselor ratios sit at 1:4 (Early Childhood), 1:6 (Elementary), 1:7 (Tweens). Staffing quality at Wellington of Peekskill Collegiate Day Camp varied noticeably by bunk — some counselors were excellent, others seemed undertrained for Ages 3 to 14.
4. Logistics, Transportation & Catering
Bus routes serving Peekskill were inconsistent in our tracking, sometimes running 15-20 minutes off schedule. Lunch quality varied by day. (per our Peekskill visit, est. 2019)
Tuition Range: $1610 – $1860 / week
