skills that they can use for the rest of their lives.

Through spirited play geared towards individual ability

levels, campers learn a variety of sports and gain self-

confidence is the key to success and therefore, teach

campers to feel good about sports and their abilities.

How are the children grouped in each camp? Chelsea Piers carefully groups children based on age and grade. For additional questions, please call 212.336.6846.

Can I request my child to be with his/her friend? Of course! We will do our best to fulfill each family’s request. The earlier we know the better, so please keep us posted.

Is there a Summer Camp uniform? All camps are different. For details, refer to your Camp Handbook – located at chelseapiers.com/summer-camp.

Who are the camp instructors and counselors? One of the best aspects of Chelsea Piers Summer Camp is that 90% of our staff works here year-round, so they know our programs and philosophy inside and out. We pride ourselves on having some of the best coaches and staff members in the world, including former Olympic athletes. Each coach is an expert in their field and is able to give individual instruction to each camper throughout the week.

What if I need to bring my camper in late, or want to pick him/her up early? Just email our office at [email protected] and we will notify your Camp Director. You can also fill out an early pick-up sheet in the morning during check-in.

Whom do I call when I have questions throughout the summer? You can always give our camp office a call with questions at 212.336.6846 or email us at [email protected]. They are able to connect you with each camp’s Director for a direct conversation.

What if my child is a “picky” eater? Chelsea Piers has a variety of nutritious meals to choose from. Our vendors include fresh&co, Piers Pizza Company, and Abigail Kirsch catering. Lunch options include fresh fruit, yogurt, mixed vegetables, salad, sandwiches, bagels, pizza, pasta, chicken, meatloaf and more. Our camp counselors make sure each child has a healthy option.

Will we need to pack sunblock? Sports Academy, Urban Adventure and Golf camps do spend some time outside – so we would recommend that you pack sunblock.

Can we add additional camp weeks? Absolutely! Register online up to Wednesday of the previous week. If you require transportation you must register by Tuesday.

Is there a time when parents can watch? Yes! We host a variety of shows and Field Days during the summer that parents can attend. Please check the weekly schedule for specific dates and times.

Are the camp buses air-conditioned? All of our buses are air-conditioned. Each bus is fully licensed and equipped with seat belts, radio dispatch and a Chelsea Piers bus counselor. Buses pick up and drop off at convenient locations throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn. For more information, please visit pages 32 and 33.
