From our morning friends circle to our Camp Keshet cheer, it’s fun in the sun for everyone. Campers enjoy outdoor play, gardening, cooking, arts and crafts, music, movement, and lunch under the nurturing guidance of preschool teachers and carefully selected teen junior counselors. New Red Cross swim and musical theater after camp programs. 
There is no better vehicle for bonding than campers sharing a love and passion for music. Every year, musicians of every age, level of ability, bring to a band their special voice or preferred instrumental choice. Our bands are known to stay together and grow professionally for many years well past summer camp. 
Future Stars is a place for children to spend a fun filled, exciting summer. Campers at our Purchase College location come from all over Westchester, Fairfield and Manhattan. This gives our campers the opportunity to meet, learn, compete and above all make friends with kids beyond their own communities. 
Camp has always been the perfect place for early friendships to develop. When children with like interests are spending time together doing something they enjoy, it is easy for friendships to develop and endure. On a personal level, my best friends today are the women I spent my childhood summers with at Camp Hill Day Camp….doing gymnastics of course!
