Summer Camps 2021

It may feel like spring has just begun, but we’re looking ahead to warm summer weather. While summer camps went virtual last year, many are reopening for in-person sessions this summer! If you’re looking for options for your kids to participate in while they’re out of school, check out these fantastic camps in and around Lincoln Square.

Registration for the Summer Music Theater Workshop at the Lucy Moses School at Kaufman Music Center (129 West 67th Street between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue) is now open!

The West Side Y (5 West 63rd Street between Broadway and Central Park West) offers a Traditional Summer Day Camp for kids ages 5 to 12 years old.
