Huntington is a historical town, forty miles from Manhattan, and mostly made up of lovely waterfronts. There are five harbors and nine beaches, made up of coves and bays. This is a perfect place for a family who enjoys relaxing by the water, boating, and other water recreation. It's also easy to commute to New York City on the Long Island Rail Road, if the family wants more bustling excitement. Take a peek at our online directory for Huntington and find a summer camp that will keep your child active and happy throughout the summer months.
Breathe in the fresh air at Caumsett State Historic Park Preserve, located on a peninsula with miles of paths for biking, jogging, horseback riding, hiking, and even cross-country skiing in the wintertime. These beautiful trails of woodland, meadows, salt marsh, and rocky shoreline once were an English-style estate, hence the well-manicured gardens, as well. Kids can go fishing or take lessons in the polo pony barn. For more historical activities, kids can go to The Whaling Museum and Education Center to learn about the ocean and the artifacts in the museum's collection. The summer and winter camps have fun crafts, exploration stations, and active games.
