Sure Camp’s in the City, but it Feels Like Miles from the Urban Jungle
SIJCC Lilllian Schwartz Day Camp’s Henry J. Kaufman Campgrounds sits on 75 wooded, country-like acres, including two lakes, in the heart of the Staten Island Greenbelt.
Enter Camp and be enveloped by thousands of shades of green and seemingly endless stretches of nature.
Every morning, as SIJCC Campers and counselors walk along the gravel path to their rustic shelters, their footsteps are punctuated by the sounds of croaking frogs, chirping birds, and sweet breezes through groves of oak, hickory, beech, maple, sweetgum and tulip trees.
Campers’ laughs and songs fill the air during the day; but when evening comes, so does the quietude.
Our tranquil, fun-filled site is one of many reasons SIJCC Camp was chosen Staten Island’s Best Day Camp in the Staten Island Advance’s Reader’s Choice Awards.
Please come with your family to see for yourself and schedule a tour of the campgrounds by calling 718–475–5231 or email gwechsler@sijcc.com.
The entrance to the campgrounds is located at 1131 Manor Road.
Once you’re inside our picturesque grounds, you will find:
- Three Olympic Sized Swimming Pools
- Multi-Purpose Athletic Fields Including a Baseball Field
- Shaded Picnic Areas and Elaborate Playgrounds
- Outdoor Basketball and Volleyball and a Ga-Ga Pit
- An Archery Range
- Outdoor Ampitheater
- Ropes Challenge Course
- Paddle Boats
Our amazing counselors and staff are right there, smiling alongside, as campers make friends and memories in SIJCC Camp’s amazingly outfitted, bucolic surroundings.
