Oak Crest Day Camp Reviews

From the moment we enrolled, Oak Crest Day Camp has been nothing short of AMAZING for our family! Our kids begged to go back every single day and came home tired, happy, and full of stories about new friends and unbelievable activities. The variety here is truly something special — from swimming and climbing to biking, arts & crafts, and weekly theme events, every camper finds their thing. The fun doesn’t feel random — it’s thoughtfully planned and paced so kids stay engaged and excited all summer long. What really sets this camp apart is the staff: attentive, enthusiastic, and genuinely caring. They make every child feel welcome, supported, and confident trying new things — a game-changer for first-time campers or shy personalities. The emphasis on teamwork, leadership, and kindness makes me feel great as a parent sending my kids here. I also love the logistics — bus transportation was a huge relief in our busy schedule, and the inclusive, structured environment gave me peace of mind knowing my children were safe and thriving all day. If you’re looking for a summer camp where your kids will make lifelong friendships, grow in confidence, and return home dreaming about “what we’re doing tomorrow,” Oak Crest is the BEST choice around. We’ll be back again and again! 🌞🏕️💛

Below is review written by an oak crest camper herself : Hi to whoever is reading this, I feel like everyone at oak crest. I think this because 1. it is 99.9% chance that who ever goes to oak crest will make at least 10 or more new friends. Next, oak crest has so any activities to do no matter how old you are. For example, their are pools for everybody to use and the slides are so fun. Another reason is that there are events your division does and the last week they add up your points and if you win you win the cup and the staff from your division gets soaked!! There is this event the 7th week of camp and its called color war. This means that your group will get a color and you do make up a group chant and its basically so fun! Anyways to wrap it all up if your still reading this, Oak Crest is the best place on earth and everybody will 99.9% learn something new. Side note the staff at Oak Crest are so nice and make everyone feel welcome even if it's their first year! I hope you join Oak Crest aka the best place on Earth. -Oak Crest Camper

Oak Crest has become our family’s summer staple Since moving to the U.S. in 2022, we’ve taken our boys to Oak Crest every summer—and each year they can’t wait to go back. The camp delivers a full day that balances sports, water activities, creativity, and learning. Our kids come home tired, happy, and with a few new skills and stories. What stands out: Staff who are present and engaged. They’re committed to helping kids have fun, try new things, and feel comfortable. Facilities built for variety. Well‑maintained installations and plenty of outdoor spaces mean no two days look the same. Play with purpose. Teamwork, confidence, and curiosity show up naturally in the way activities are run. Oak Crest isn’t flashy; it’s consistently good. It’s the place our boys look forward to, and the camp we trust to make summer count.

The energy you feel upon entering Oak Crest never fades. The entire staff creates an incredible experience that my kids still talk about long after camp ends. As Jonathan promised, they come home completely exhausted—which honestly makes my summer more enjoyable! Communication is excellent; any questions or concerns are answered immediately. Each day, the kids look forward to fun activities—tower, swimming, bikes, and go-karts are their favorites. I was thrilled to hear that they already plan to become counselors in the future, which makes me really happy knowing they want to share the joy they experienced with others.

Summer of 2025 was my 6 year old daughter’s first year at Oakcrest and she absolutely loved it! She couldn’t wait to go everyday and is counting down the days until summer 2026. The counselors were amazing, the activities were great, and the other kids were very friendly. She also loved participating in Showcrest, the theater show at the end of the summer. We were very pleased with everything and would highly recommend the camp.

Oak Crest Day Camp is absolutely amazing. My kids love it, and this coming summer will be their 6th year attending — that alone says everything. The staff is incredibly friendly, caring, and professional, and they truly make us feel comfortable knowing our kids are safe and well taken care of every day. Our kids come home excited, nonstop talking about their day and all the fun activities they did. It’s clear how much thought and effort the camp puts into making each day engaging and memorable. We genuinely love Oak Crest Day Camp and highly recommend it to any family looking for an outstanding summer camp experience.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Oak Crest Day Camp during the 2025 summer season, and we couldn’t be more impressed with our first summer sending our then 4-year-old to camp. From day one, our son absolutely loved it. He came home excited, happy, and eager to share what he did each day. The staff truly made the experience special—every counselor and staff member we encountered was incredibly friendly, warm, and clearly passionate about what they do. It was obvious how much they genuinely care about the children and their overall experience. What stood out most to us was the emphasis Oak Crest places on teaching important values such as kindness, respect, resilience, and leadership. Even at such a young age, we could see these lessons reflected in how our son talked about his day and interacted with others. It’s clear the camp is intentional about helping children grow not just socially, but emotionally as well. As parents, feeling that your child is safe is everything—and Oak Crest exceeded our expectations. We always felt confident that our son was well cared for, supported, and protected. We especially appreciated how well the camp kept parents informed through regular messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected to his day. Sending our child to camp for the first time can be nerve-wracking, but Oak Crest made the transition seamless and reassuring. We were truly impressed with our first experience, and our son is already counting down the days until he returns this summer. We are so grateful to have found such a nurturing, fun, and well-run camp and highly recommend Oak Crest Day Camp to any family looking for an exceptional summer experience.

An exceptional summer camp we truly trust! My son Miroslav has been attending this summer day camp for four consecutive summers, and that alone probably says more than any words. Year after year, he is genuinely excited to go back — and as a parent, that feeling of trust and confidence is priceless. This camp offers the perfect balance of fun, structure, creativity, and care. The counselors are not just attentive, but truly engaged — they know the kids, respect them, and make every child feel seen and valued. Miroslav came home every day with stories, new skills, new friends, and a big smile. What I appreciate most is the atmosphere: safe, warm, inclusive, and inspiring. It’s not just childcare — it’s a place where kids grow, gain confidence, and build memories that stay with them. After four summers, we can honestly say this camp has become part of our family’s summer tradition. I recommend it wholeheartedly to any parent looking for a camp where their child will be happy, supported, and excited to return. Thank you for making every summer special 💛

Oak Crest Day Camp is, without a doubt, one of the most exceptional summer camps we have ever experienced. From the moment we learned about the program, it was clear that this camp offers far more than just summer activities—it provides a truly enriching and unforgettable experience for kids. The plethora of activities and exciting field trips keeps campers engaged, active, and constantly learning something new. There is never a dull moment, and every day feels thoughtfully planned to balance fun, creativity, and personal growth. One standout feature is the amazing buffet-style lunch, which is both nutritious and kid-approved—a huge plus for parents. The food quality and variety are impressive and clearly well thought out. The summer camp counselors deserve special recognition. They are professional, caring, energetic, and genuinely invested in each child’s well-being. The campers are remembered throughout the year with personalized birthday cards from their counselors. They create a safe, inclusive environment that helps children build character, confidence, independence, and strong social skills—qualities that last far beyond the summer. The door-to-door bus service is another major advantage, making logistics incredibly convenient and stress-free for families. What truly says it all is this: my daughter Trisha loves this camp so much that she wants to fly all the way from Texas to New Jersey just to attend. That alone speaks volumes about how special Oak Crest Day Camp truly is. If you’re looking for a summer camp that combines fun, structure, personal development, and outstanding care, I cannot recommend Oak Crest Day Camp highly enough. It sets the gold standard for what a summer camp should be.

I have sent my son to Oak Crest Day Camp for the past 3 years (K-2nd grade) and have been very happy with the experience. The camp is primarily outdoors and facilitates physical activity, peer social interactions, problem-solving, confidence-building, and independence. The camp provides daily swim lessons (as well as free-swim) which is so important for safety in kids. The counselors are fantastic and have high engagement with the kids (they aren't allowed on phones for example during the camp day). Communication with camp staff is excellent, clear, and frequent. I really can't say enough good things about this camp. Highly recommend.

We highly recommend Oak Crest! Our oldest daughter has been attending for the last two years and we’ve had a wonderful experience so far. The staff is caring, supportive, and truly invested in the children’s growth and well-being. The environment feels safe, welcoming, and well organized, and we’ve always felt great about the communication and the attention our daughter receives. She has learned so much and genuinely enjoys going every summer!

My son (age 5) LOVED his experience last summer! He’s already asking when he can start Oak Crest again. The staff all around was so attentive and communicated so well with us ! My son had a summer experience like something you’d see in a movie! 10/10 would recommend!
