All camps are different. For specifics, please refer to your
Camp Handbook – located on our website at chelseapiers.
com/summer-camp.
Who are the camp instructors and counselors?
One of the best aspects of Chelsea Piers Summer Camp
is that 90% of our staff works here year-round, so they
know our program and philosophy inside and out. We pride
ourselves on having some of the best coaches and staff
members in the world, including former Olympic athletes.
Each coach is an expert in their field and is able to give
individual instruction to each camper throughout the week.
What if I need to bring my camper in late, or want
to pick him/her up early?
Just email our office at [email protected] and we
will notify your Camp Director. You can also fill out an early
pick-up sheet in the morning during check-in.
Whom do I call when I have questions throughout
the summer?
You can always give our camp office a call with questions
at 212.336.6846. They are able to connect you with each
camp’s Director for a direct conversation.
What if my child is a “picky” eater?
Chelsea Piers has a variety of nutritious meals to choose
from. Our vendors include fresh&co, Piers Pizza Company,
and Abigail Kirsch catering. Lunch options include fresh
fruit, yogurt, mixed vegetables, salad, sandwiches, bagels,
pizza, pasta, chicken, meatloaf and more. Our camp
counselors make sure each child has a healthy option.
Will we need to pack sunblock?
Sports Academy, Urban Adventure and Golf camps do
spend some time outside – so we would recommend that
you pack sunblock.
Can we add more weeks?
Absolutely! Some weeks do sell out before the summer
begins, but as long as we have an opening we would
love to have you back. It’s best if you let us know by
the Wednesday before to determine if transportation is
available.
Is there a time when parents can watch?
Yes! We host a variety of shows and Field Days during the
summer that parents can attend. Please check the weekly
schedule for specific dates and times.
Are the camp buses air-conditioned?
All of our buses are air-conditioned. Each bus is fully
licensed and equipped with seat belts, radio dispatch and a
Chelsea Piers bus counselor. Buses pick up and drop off at
convenient locations throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn.
For more information, please visit pages 32 and 33.
What does my child do in Aftercare?
Aftercare provides campers with time to relax after their
long day of activities and allows parents to complete their
work day. Campers participate in a variety of games and
activities.
