very camp has its own unique approach and philosophy about sports and young campers. You need to understand just how a camp "thinks sports," so we're eager to share our Blue Rill formula:

We stress sports as a vitally important part of every camp day. We're not a sports specialty camp, yet we feature one of the most comprehensive sports programs in all of day camping, including the following daily sports offerings:

Then we add boating on our own lake and an outdoor education program featuring a ropes course, climbing walls and zip lines. We organize games, leagues, academies and daily sports choices.

At Blue Rill, our sports provide much more than just a structured way for kids to play games. We put sports in the hands of people your children will like. Our professional instructors and sports specialists are chosen for their knowledge of athletics and - equally important - their ability to work closely with kids and create a bond of mutual respect. The result: Daily opportunities to build skills, in a supportive atmosphere that campers really enjoy at all levels.

ust in case all our campgrounds activities still don't seem like enough fun...we can add even more!

Kids in grades 4-5 will enjoy several exciting and closely supervised trips during the summer...to places like Rye Playland, Splashdown Water Park and Sportsworld. In addition to those trips, campers can elect to join several optional day trips as an introduction to the full Senior Trip Program - for them, it's the super program that's only one or two years away!

Kids in grades 6-9 can make selections from our Optional Senior Trip Program. That means extra day trips to beaches, amusement parks, ball games and shows, as well as short overnight excursions. In the past we've visited places like:

Senior Trippers sign up for the excursions they want to join, and need not participate in the entire schedule - a full program is always available at camp. No matter what kind of summer your child puts together from this Travel Extravaganza, you can be assured that every trip is carefully planned and supervised by teachers with over 25 years of experience.

o matter how you put together a terrific Blue Rill summer for your child, there are special events galore for everyone.

We know what children like and we know what makes them happy. After all our exciting regular activities and trip options, we carefully plan a never-ending menu of Theme Weeks which incorporate:

During "Late Nights at Blue Rill" the fun continues for an evening based on a super-special theme, specially chosen every year.
