Camp Central 

Scarsdale kids, get ready for some summer fun in the sun!  During the summer months, the Scarsdale Recreation Department welcomes children of all ages to participate in a variety of day camp programs, where children can enjoy everything from sports and swimming to arts and crafts and nature.  These beloved camp programs are managed by school teachers and administrators who bring experience, expertise, and enthusiasm.

Each summer camp is led by a director, who is not only responsible for the schedule and activities, but also dedicated to helping the counselors and specialists - most of whom are Scarsdale High School students and graduates- who provide an exciting, rewarding, and safe summer for all campers.  The Scarsdale Department of Parks, Recreation and Conservation is planning to host a 2023 Summer Day Camp Season.     Camp will  will offer a full season or weekly options.
