We are a children's summer day camp offering opportunities for college students to work with children. Camper ages range from 3 to 13 (Nursery to Eighth Grades). Counselors work in teams of two, three or four and travel with a specific group of campers from activity to activity. They participate in every activity assisting our teachers (specialists) who run them. Most campers are at Ramapo for the full camp season (39 days). Ideal for Education, Psychology, Sociology, and Recreation majors. Gain experience working with a set age group. Our "internship" will give you the people skills and problem solving skill all employers are looking for. If you can handle a group of kids you can handle any board room or court room. All majors welcome.

Ramapo Country Day Camp is a private day camp nestled on over 35 acres of woodlands, rolling hills, streams, trails, and open space, Ramapo offers campers an unforgettable camp experience in a country setting. Ramapo is on the Rockland County (NY) and Bergen County (NJ) border. We are near the NJ towns of: Ridgewood, Upper Saddle River, Montvale and the NY Towns: Suffern and Chestnut Ridge. We are approximately 25-30 minutes from the George Washington Bridge. Half of our campers come from all over Manhattan. Ramapo is easily accessible from the Garden State Parkway (Exit 172), Rt 17 (Saddle River / Woodcliff Lake exit), 287, Rt 59, and the NY State Thruway (Exit 14B). Our campers come from all over Bergen County (NJ) and Manhattan. Since most of the campers are here for six, seven, or eights weeks of camp you have plenty of time to make connections. They participate in activities ranging from all sports, swim, arts, ceramics, woodworking, and horseback riding to bungee and trampoline, robotics, dirt track carts, zipline trails, archery, and theater. Our staff of specialists, who run our activities, is made up of teachers from Bergen, Passaic, Rockland County as well as New York City. Our counselors are college students who accompany each group of campers and assist our specialists.
