What is the Mt. Kisco Teen Travel Camp?
The Mt. Kisco Teen Travel Camp is a municipal traveling day
camp owned and operated by the Mt. Kisco Recreation
Commission (Village/Town of Mt. Kisco). This coed program is
open to Mt. Kisco residents entering grades 6th through 9th. The
camp will operate for a total of 6 weeks during the summer (2
sessions each with 3 weeks) from Tuesdays through Fridays.
Most camp days are 9:00am – 3:00pm however, some days are
earlier and/or later depending on the trip destination. Campers
will meet and be dismissed at Leonard Park. A detailed calendar
and weekly schedule will be mailed out to you 2 weeks prior to
the beginning of camp.
This summer we are going to have lots of new trips! We are
planning some outdoor adventure trips, team building trips,
go cart racing, sporting events, water slides, just to name a
few!
