Huguenot Day Camp
We let campers build the experience that they want.
Campers ages 6-13 can choose from common camp activities like nature hikes, swimming, boating, and s’mores making, but also have the opportunity to tell us what they are interested in! Want to have a mud science day? Let’s work together to make it happen! Interested in how many frogs you can catch in a 30-minute showdown? Let’s find out! All campers are given trust in a well-structured, safe environment where they can choose activities that will light them up and bring them joy.
- OUR CAMPERS ARE EMPOWERED
Day Camp Details
Through our Camper Empowerment Plan, each camper will be seen as the unique, incredible individual that they are. We will partner with caregivers and campers to define what success will look like for each young person and ensure that we have the tools and training to meet those needs. This could look like having your child’s favorite snack on hand if they are having a rough day, or it could look like 15 minutes of after-lunch decompression time in our sensory-friendly space because that is when your kiddo gets the most overwhelmed. We know that campers and their families know their unique needs more than we do, and we want to help empower youth by allowing them to name what safety looks like and feels like to them.
- PLAY YOUR WAY
Activities
We are excited to offer a range of activities to suit the unique interests of each camper. We are also super curious about the activities that your camper wants to participate in and are eager for them to help us build camp together! The common theme throughout all activities is that we want campers to build positive relationships with others in the community – because a community that plays together can be transformed together!
Along with our traditional activities below, some uncommon activities we might do are: Pudding Tag (What’s that? We aren’t sure, either! Let’s figure it out together!), newspaper costume making, macaroni science, extreme bubble making, and rumble ball (Which is totally made-up. It could be anything!)

Meet Our Director
I come to Camp Reimagined with over 20 years of summer camp experience, the last ten as the Camp Director of Camp AJ in Mckee, Kentucky, a small rural community a lot like Huguenot. I love dreaming up new camp games, talking in silly voices, and finding ways to make sure every person is a valued and necessary member of the beloved community that is camp. I believe that camp should be a place where every child feels safe, welcomed, and loved. My wife Julianna and I met at camp, and together we have two awesome kids, Cooper and Maeve. We’re so grateful for the opportunity to become members of this community and to laugh and play with all the campers and staff at camp this summer!
- CATSKILL MOUNTAINS
Our Location
Located in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains, Camp Reimagined rests in 1,000 acres of pristine wilderness and is a collection of lakes, streams, waterfalls, ridges, vistas, and miles of hiking trails. Set between the historical villages, hamlets, and towns of the Neversink and Delaware River, its lush green forest is home to deer, turkeys, foxes, many species of birds, and aquatic life. Campers will have access to a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces perfect for every weather condition.
More About Camp Reimagined
Young people have traditionally had their voices silenced in inequitable ways in the design process of spaces aimed at serving them. We believe that youth have the right to be active participants in their life narrative and that, through play in safe and just spaces, they can learn more about who they are. We believe that some populations of youth are subject to voices and barriers in society working to limit their imaginations and ability to explore living to their fullest potential. We are passionate about removing barriers created by these ideas. Instead, we seek to instill courage & resiliency within campers in regards to awareness of their identity and ability to effectively pursue their own role in the world. We hope that you’ll take a look around, get to know us better, and connect with us soon!
