We warmly invite you to visit our campus before
the start of the camp season. Please call (212)
316-7530 to schedule a visit. A campus tour, discussion
of A.C.T.ivities and events will demonstrate why
families return to A.C.T. year after year.
The A.C.T. Summer program is one of the few in
the five boroughs that boasts spacious grounds,
extensive indoor facilities, off-site pool, eight-week
program, extended hours, and a diversity of campers.
No need to bus your child miles away from home
for sun, trees and flowers. Centrally located
near public transportation, our 11-acre oasis
in Manhattan allows children to garden, meet in
fields, play outdoors, eat under the shade of
cherry trees, and play in gymnasiums.
Summer activities offer
an exciting eight-week period sure to keep everyone
happy, including parents. A.C.T.'s. unique July
Divisions for campers as young as 3 1/2 and as
old as 14 have been tested and proven over our
31 years of service. August Camp includes singular
offerings in the arts, sports and performing arts.
Call for a summer brochure that describes program
activities and events.
The core values expressed through our actions,
program events and staff training activities unify
the staff approach to create memorable and fun
camp experience for each child. Seven core values
are a love of learning, achievement through
teamwork and partnerships, acceptance
and recognition of diversity, a fun
and friendly environment, child-centeredness,
organized people and resources and a safe
haven.

CAMP
DAY (9:30 A.M.-4:00 P.M.): Except
on the first day of each session, campers
should arrive between 9:25 and 9:35 a.m.
Because the first half hour of each day
is used for orientation and planning, we
urge you to ensure that campers arrive on
time.
EXTENDED
DAY (7:45 -9:15 A.M. AND/OR 4:00-6:15
P.M.): Additional information will be forwarded
upon registration: All campers go directly
to the playground area and report to their
supervisor. On rainy days, campers are escorted
to the ACT gym in the Cathedral Undercroft.

a designated outdoor area. Some special
occasions require dismissal from the ACT
gym. Location of meeting sites will be posted
near the guard booth.

Request for pairing with a friend or sibling
must be submitted in writing before April 1. When
possible, if appropriate and timely we will try
to meet camper pairing request. Campers are expected
to make new friends and share common goals as
we emphasize the development of life skills through
team building and group activities. We do not
make an effort to keep children from the same
school together. Enrollment should not be contingent
on group placement with a particular friend. Campers
are grouped according to grade or age.
