Deerkill Day Camp is a very popular camp option among Rockland families. This third-generation
family business, celebrating its 64th season, is located on a wooded 15-acre site and brings a
community feel to the summer camp experience for campers age 3 through 15. Deerkill successfully
opened in 2020 for 6 weeks with NO confirmed COVID cases – learn how they did it at
www.deerkilldaycamp.com.
Deerkill offers children a chance to pick up a new sport or hobby, learn to swim and form lifelong
friendships this summer. The diverse program includes professional swim instruction in large heated
pools, an array of athletics on fields sized for younger and older children, creative and performing arts
such as arts and crafts, ceramics, woodworking, dance, theater, and digital photography, and specialties
such as karate and nature, among other activities. A new 28-foot climbing tower and 250-foot zipline
were also recently added to the program.
Deerkill offers door-to-door daily transportation on mini air-conditioned buses, staffed with
professional drivers and bus counselors. The Directors are on the camp grounds every day and
accessible by phone by day and night; there is no large administrative staff and all the individual group
leaders are adults, many of whom are teachers.
