Black Bear Lake Day Camp
Black Bear Lake Day Camp in central New Jersey offers a truly innovative day camp program. The program allows campers to choose their favorite activities each week and to participate in them every day.
Campers find it easy to make friends when they participate in activities with other children who have similar interests. Elective activities range from land sports and water sports to rocketry, website design, cooking, golf, American Girl and Harry Potter. There is something for every child at Black Bear Lake.
In addition to the elective program, Black Bear Lake offers campers two daily swims, group choice periods, special events, and delicious hot lunches every day. Children expand their talents amid a beautiful 30-acre wooded property, featuring 5-acre Black Bear Lake, a smaller fishing lake, numerous regulation-sized athletic fields, and the property's own Black Bear Mountain. Other facilities include three heated pools, two outdoor pavilions, an outdoor amphitheater, a variety of athletic fields and courts, horseback riding trails, gymnastics pavillion, and over 25 separate areas for specialized activities. All camp buildings are air-conditioned.
Black Bear Lake Day Camp welcomes children from the Marlboro / Manalapan / Freehold and Princeton / West Windsor / Plainsboro areas. Bus transportation is included and the creative "fun on the bus" program gets the camp day started from the moment campers leave their homes. The warm, safe, family-like setting at Black Bear Lake offers the highest-quality camping experience to kindergarten through 9th grade children and their families.
