Deerkill Day Camp Reviews

A place that truly puts the kids and staff first. Plenty of activities and specials to keep the kids happy all summer long.

Been playing guitar at Deerkill Day Camp's Fall Fest for 10 years and every return shows a higher level of care and love poured into every bit of family fun and wholesome good time activities... Super grateful to play a small part in this wonderful destination where family and friends come first and there's always a smile and a treat at this lush green fieldy location!! Todd & his Family Staff are simply THE BEST and Deerkill is a family tradition that's here to stay!

We have two kids and it is going to be our 5th summer at Deerkill. They have been having a fantastic time. The counselors are fun and take a good care of them. The kids have a wide variety of activities to choose from. They made some friendships at camp and very eager to go back. As for us, the parents, we like knowing that kids are well taken care of while having fun outside and the pick up and drop off at home is priceless. The staff is easily available for a quick chat if you have any questions or concerns. The kids play a lot of different sports every day not to mention swimming twice a day. My kids also like woodworking and movie making classes. Yoga and Gaga among their favorites as well. In addition, the camp hosts a number of activities throughout the year to keep the kids in touch with each other. Overall, we have been having a very positive experience at Deerkill and highly recommend it.

Benn here for 11 years when doing this review and still have not got bored of it. Of being staff or camper

Deerkill is a fantastic place. The counselors and administrators are all extremely qualified and highly experienced. Their customer service even for the tiniest issues is absolutely first-rate. My son can't wait to go back on Mondays, and comes home everyday totally exhausted and happy.

I went there in the Summer of 1982. I still remember the smell of the wood buildings and bright sunny days on that field. The bus came all the way into NJ to pick me up. Good memories.

I personally worked for Deerkill for 5 years doing various different jobs. Deerkill is a great place to work. The camp has a big team atmosphere, everyone is accepted at camp, and there are many different positions based on your particular skill set. The camp directors are all amazing supervisors and they really do reward going above and beyond. As far as for campers, Deerkill is a spectacular place to send kids for the summer. There are so many daily activities they do that it's overwhelming. I can imagine as a kid at Deerkill it's hard to feel bored! The staff is the heart and soul of the camp and they really step up each year to give each and every camper the best experience every summer. Working for Deerkill was a pleasure and sending your child here is definitely the right move!

This is a great place to work and to send your kids. There are so many opportunities to learn and have fun. The waterfront team does a fantastic job getting your child to be comfortable in the pool.

Heading into summer #6 at Deerkill and my girls (and I!) couldn't be more excited! The variety of activities, the quality of the swim instruction (it's fantastic), the high-touch connection (a personal call from the head counselor to report on how the summer is going), and all of the amazing special activities (carnival and slip-n-slide and field trips oh my!) just all combine to make the summer an absolute delight. My girls make friends, build skills, feel very safe and cared for, and always end the summer counting down to the next!
