ORGANIZED SPORT ACTIVITIES
Taking place in our fully air-conditioned gym, as well as in Seaview Park, campers will have the time of their lives racing, competing, and playing socially safe sports with all of their summer camp friends.
STEM/PROJECT BASED LEARNING
Led by a New York State Licensed Teacher, campers will have the opportunity to learn and explore while taking part in fun filled educational projects.
MUSIC AND SINGING
Campers will learn how to create music using different instruments while singing and creating fun camp songs.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Our oldest campers have the unique opportunity to test their photography skills. Each week campers will learn a new technique, style, and tricks of the trade. They will then “hit the ground shooting” and build a group photo portfolio throughout the summer.
FRIDAYS AT THE DRIVE-IN
The H.E.S. transforms its auditorium each and every Friday into a Drive-in theater. Campers will have the opportunity to take in a flick from the comfort of their own designed, socially safe, cars while enjoying a popcorn snack.
The H.E.S. Summer Camp is made up of 3 Units Juniors, Seniors, & Teens. Please see below to determine which unit your child would be placed into.
Juniors – Children from 4 years of age to entering 3rd grade
Seniors – Children entering 4th grade through 6th grade

Children are placed together by gender and the grade that the child is entering the following September.
