General Camp, Pre-K to 1st Grade

There are multiple Early Childhood groups during each session, each following the Bank Street School philosophy. Most of the Head Counselors for the Lower Camp are teachers at Bank Street School for Children or graduate students from the Bank Street College. Each group has snack time, outdoor play and swim time. All groups will have age appropriate rest or quiet time each day. 

This summer, we are excited to be using the community space in the Columbia Kraft Center at 115th St. as our Lower Camp Unit area. 

Each group swim three times a week 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 at Bank Street is not separate from the regular programs, and is instead a part of everyone's weekly program.
