Why Choose Tate’s for Your Summer Day Camp?
Some think it’s because of our wide variety of activities, the multiple weekly themes, or our expertly trained staff known as the Fun Professionals. It’s actually because we have created a specific camp environment that develops child and youth development and have completely camouflaged it in FUN.
Our Program
The success of our campers is centered on our age-specific groups, excellent staff, and our wide variety of activities. At Tate’s Day Camp, we provide traditional camp activities like swimming, arts & crafts, music, hands-on nature study, archery, boating, fishing, sports, games, and group initiative activities. Through hands-on activities and low counselor to camper ratios, our Summer Day Camp builds self-esteem and provides an excellent opportunity for individual growth and maturity.
Weekly Themes
Whether you like Star Wars, Superheroes, or just plain old water fun, our different weekly themes help to keep camp exciting and fresh for our campers that come all Summer. The themes change from year to year and are always sure to keep our campers active and having fun. We work hard to make Tate’s a place your child will want to return to over and over again.

What Our Camper Families Have To Say
“Tate’s is magical! My son looks forward to camp all year because he thinks it is fun. But, I know he’s working hard on life skills and self-confidence. I enjoy seeing him reach new goals every day!”
“I have uniquely known the wonders of Tate’s Day Camp for the past 20 years. My older son (now 27 years old) not only attended Tate’s as a camper, he also become a CIT, Counselor and Associate Director. My younger son (8 years old) has been attending for the past 5 years and will continue to do so this coming summer. Tate’s continues to re-invent itself, while retaining the core values of what made it unique and magical in the first place. Do I endorse Tate’s Day Camp? You betcha I do!”
“My daughter is over the moon about Tate’s. Absolutely nothing I would change (except maybe adult camp, all the activities sound like so much fun)”
“I went to both Tate’s School and Tate’s Day Camp. The impact it had on me at a young age compelled me to return and work at Tate’s Camp for three summers. I can honestly say, Tate’s has offered me some of the best experiences I’ve ever had, both as a child and as an adult. In fact, two of my friends I met at camp are still my best friends today. Once you join the Tate’s family, it becomes a part of your family too. Tate’s will make a positive, life long impact on your child. I guarantee it.”
“My daughter absolutely loves Tate’s camp. She will talk about it each of the 51 weeks until it’s time to go back again!”
