In cooperation with Columbia University, the Bank Street Summer Camp is providing weekly programs for children between Pre-K and 8th grade, until August 31st, called the August Alliance. August Alliance programs consist of daily swim and a variety of developmentally appropriate trips and activities. Program options will be available on a week to week basis. Any children of faculty, staff or students at Columbia University and the Cathedral School will receive a discount of 10%. All campers must be potty-trained to be in camp.

Entering our 13th year of providing children with an exciting summer experience on Roosevelt Island!! Activities include swimming, sports, science, arts and animation workshops, field trips and more!  

There are multiple early childhood groups during each session, all of which follow the Bank Street School philosophy. Most  Head Counselors for the Lower Camp are teachers at Bank Street School for Children or graduate students from the Bank Street Graduate School. Each group has snack time, outdoor play, age appropriate rest/quiet time and daily swim in the outdoor Skyview pool in Riverdale. The Camp’s Aquatics staff instructs the children both individually and in small groups, at appropriate swim levels and with an emphasis on safety. The swim program is not separate from the regular camp programs, and is part of everyone’s weekly program. All campers must be 4 years old and potty-trained to be in camp.

After swim, the Theater in the Park group will spend the second half of each day learning and theater games and producing small plays.

The Spanish Immersion groups provide the students with the opportunity to learn, practice and reinforce the Spanish language through a variety of engaging and interactive activities. The focus is on the development of the students’ receptive and expressive language while creating a positive educational experience. By practicing the language both in and out of the classroom, teachers are able to make the campers feel comfortable, and help develop an appreciation and love for the Spanish language.
