Welcome to Smithtown Summer Camp
Experience the Ultimate Summer
More Than a Camp. A Summer Family.
Smithtown Summer Camp is more than a place to send your child for the summer. We're a vibrant, child-focused community built on trust, safety, and joy. Every camper who steps onto our campus becomes part of our extended family from day one.
Our 40-acre waterfront campus at The Knox School gives campers the space and freedom to explore, create, and connect. From our Early Program for our youngest campers all the way up to our Counselors-in-Training, every program is designed to meet children where they are and help them discover what they love.
Every activity, every partnership, every staff member is chosen with one goal in mind: to give your child a summer they'll remember long after it ends. The friendships campers make here really do last a lifetime.
Children return year after year to reconnect with each other, and the bonds they form with our staff are the reason they keep coming back.
What Makes Us Different
Every week is designed, not just scheduled.
Carefully Curated Curriculum
Every day is intentionally built around five core activity areas: swim, sports, arts, STEM, and camp games. Each activity is modified for age and ability, so every camper finds something they love and something that challenges them.
Weekly Themes
Each week carries a fresh theme that weaves through games, arts, and special events. Every week gets its own character and something new to look forward to, so campers who stay multiple weeks never have the same summer twice.
Structured Programs by Age
Campers are grouped into age-appropriate programs: Early Program for our youngest, through Lower, Middle, and Upper Camp, all the way to our Counselors-in-Training. Kids are always with peers and the right kind of challenge.
