    HEALTHY BODIES…HEALTHY MINDS

    Best camp for kids.

    My son attended Tall Pines for 8 summers and then was a CIT for 4 years while he was in high school. This year he can have his own bunk. He has loved tall Pines from the very beginning and couldn’t wait to go back every summer. Best camp around!

    Our city kids enjoyed the best summer ever!!

    My daughter came home every day so excited to tell me what she did and about new things she tried. She loved her counselors and the new friends she made.

    love this camp. so much fun for kids, great service for their families (pick up, drop off, lunch included)

    My child has only gone to camp for2 year but has enjoyed all the activities.
    even as high school is in sight for next year… requesting to go back again.

    My son has been at Tall Pines for the past 9 years. We could not be happier with the activities, supervision, physical plant and the fact that the owner is always doing new things and improving the old. It is my son’s “most happy place!”

    Tall Pines is an amazing summer day camp that gives kids so many ways to challenge themselves, make new friends and just have fun! 2020 marks the third year that my son will be going to Tall Pines. He has so much fun, but it has opened his horizons on his abilities. It has made him more confident and outgoing. Tall Pines is a wonderful program that really supports our kids, giving them so many opportunities to shine.

    My daughter loves camp and loves being with her friends. They have something for every kid. I also like that it’s kids from all over and from all different ethnicities.

    An amazing summer experience for children!

    Everyone there is very welcoming and it feels just like a giant family when working there. This camp has been understanding, friendly, and hardworking. They should not go unnoticed!

    Best day camp of all time!!!!

    My son absolutely loved Tall Pines last summer.

    The staff cared about our family’s needs at every step of the way. Before camp started we got lots of communication, and being first-time campers we didn’t always know the “lingo” so I would call and ask what I thought were silly questions but every single person I talked to was happy to address anything I brought up. The camp experience was so fun, and I am planning to send my other child too, when she is old enough.

    Amazing summer camp experience on 66 acres of land. Sports, adventure, arts and crafts, boating and fishing, dance, gymnastics, pottery, wood shop, farm, swimming and more. Something for every camper. Air conditioned vans transport children to camp. Great seasoned staff ensured a great summer, every summer.

    The best summer camp hands down

    The people at Tall Pines are what make this camp so amazing and why the kids LOVE it so much. The kids can’t wait to get there each day and all off season long. The culture of the staff is simply amazing, it is all about the kids!

    Tall pines prides itself in the details.
    We go above and beyond to communicate with our parents.
    We have created a family oriented atmosphere.
    And a place of security for all our campers and staff.
    We all wake up wanting to go to work and provide the best experience a kid could want.

    Tall Pines is a summer camp that offers children with a ride range of activities and opportunities for them to participate in. The staff if friendly and the campers are incredibly happy day to day

    Most amazing day camp ever!!!!!!!

    My son came home (two summers ago, age 5) from Tall Pines and said he had the best day of his life, could he sleep there, and could he spend the entire summer there. It runs like a well-oiled machine, making it very easy on parents and very fun for children. It is jammed packed with activities for all kinds of kids (sports, and art, and crafts, and cooking, and theatre, and just general old fashioned summer fun). Both of my children now spend the summer there, and we couldn’t be happier. Perfect for families who spend the weekends at the Shore, too-they have an Ocean City van, so we can be flexible with our own schedules. Couldn’t recommend it any more!

    Tall Pines is an amazing camp offering children more experiences and activities than any other place around. Not only are they well rounded l, but they pride themselves on making their day camp a home away from home. Children come in every day smiling and excited for their new adventures.

    This will be our daughter’s 4th year at Tall Pines. She absolutely loves going here. The daily activities that she participates in really has helped her explore new things as well as grow. Her confidence and sociability has gotten stronger from going to Tall Pines. The staff is helpful and caring. All in all it has been a great experience over and over throughout the years.

    It’s the best place to celebrate your summer vacation. You have an opportunity to make new friends and try out new things that you have never done before. Summer camps, especially Tall Pines, help make summer memories that you will never forget! Come spend your summer with us!

    This camp is BEYOND deserving of this award. I have worked here as a counselor for over 6 years, and even attended as a camper. The facilities are incredible, the staff is incredible, and the owners are incredible. Every year the kids come back saying how FUN their summer was. All in all, an amazing place I get to call home.

    My son had had the BEST experience at camp. The counselors are phenomenal with the children, the camp runs like a fine oiled machine and my son has created memories that will last a lifetime!

    Tall Pines Day Camp consistently provides the best summer / outdoor activities for children ages 3 – 14. The staff and facility is amazing — there are so many great activities, including gaga, music, dance, archery, horseback riding, ropes course, boating & fishing, zip line, climbing tower, etc. A truly wonderful experience!

    Tall Pines is a wonderful summer day camp. The kids enjoy numerous athletic activities in addition to arts and crafts and an incredible variety of activities. The staff is great and there is a true focus on making the camp experience awesome for its campers.

    I was a camper, employee, and now my child goes there. They have EVERYTHING a camp should offer plus certified teacher and school counselors as counselors for our kids. They have the largest zip line in south jersey and run the absolute best picnics on weekends for companies.

    Friendly, well staffed camp. Plenty of various activities for the campers. From horseback riding, swimming, golf, zip line, theater and much more.
    Lunch is great too.
    Director is on the grounds every day, not absentee, but loving his camp and campers.
    I believe this is the success of Tall Pines Day Camp celebrating its 25th year.

    We absolutely love Tall Pines!!

    Tall Pines Day Camp is one of the happiest places to go to camp in the summer. The staff cares about each and every camper as if they were their own. My children look forward each year for their time at camp. They learn so much, they make new friends and have an experience like no other. We are so lucky to have found this gem!

    Wonderful Summer Day Camp where outdoor and indoor activities abound. Our kid gets to leave the city and swim, fish, boat, play games , make crafts and create a lifetime of memories.

    Fantastic summer camp. The camp is run unbelievably well and the staff is superb.

    Our son Seamus loves summer camp there. He was learning to swim, he had a great time. We’re sending him back this year.

    We sent both of our kids there for the first time last summer and they loved it. The facilities are excellent, and communication was great. Our kids loved the wide food selection and the many activities to chose from. I would highly recommend Tall Pines.

    everything! my son has been going for years and never gets bored of it at the end of summer like most activities. Everyone is full of consistent positive energy – he has developed confidence and personality 🙂

    Tall Pines Day Camp is-hands down-the best day camp around! I am an educator by profession and proudly work for Tall Pines Day Camp in the summer. My own children attend camp while I work in my specialty area with all of the campers each day. I feel SO BLESSED that my children and I get to spend our summers at Tall Pines together! Andrew Yankowitz and his entire management team are the kindest, most positive, generous, and supportive employers I have ever worked for. They work tirelessly, along with the entire staff, to provide ALL the children who attend Tall Pines with a fun, exciting, diverse, and memorable summer experience, year after year. The activities and experiences that Tall Pines provides are innumerable and exceptional. Activities are both indoor and outdoor, both physical and creative. There is truly something for every child. Tall Pine’s doesn’t just provide amazing services for families, they’ve managed to create their own ‘Tall Pines Family’ of which we are all (campers and staff) a part. This sense of “family” is apparent in the fact that such a large percentage of staff are all former campers themselves. Tall Pines Day Camp is a summer paradise that fosters life long friendships and memories! I just can’t say enough about Tall Pines Day Camp!

    The employees are very family oriented and customer focus. Young adults or teens (now employees) attended Tall Pines in their adolescence. It promotes safety and fun for all that attends, from customers to long time employees.

    The camp has made better improvements year after year to keep customers happy. Also, Tall Pines has managed to keep its beautiful and natural scenery through the years while staying modern.

    My boys have been going for 3 years now. They love this camp

    They are the best!!! My kids love it!!

    I have been there 18 years. It is an experience like no other and now I get to share it with my children. The feeling of excitement that I have is indescribable.

    I have raised three kids here at Tall Pines and watching them grow from campers to counselors to staff members has given me memories of a lifetime and them skills to carry them to anything they choose to do.

    I went to this camp when I was little and loved it so much that I was a counselor for 7 years throughout high school and college. Now at 27 years old, I am returning to camp because it’s more than just an organization; it’s a family.

    I have been the soccer specialist at this camp for over 15 years and I have seen constant the camp get better every year by doing and adding things that will give the campers a better experience, and always putting them first.

    My son has been going for 6 years now – It was the best decision we have ever made – he is now a counselor in training- never got bored since there’s so much to do and everyone is wonerful – he’s learned a lot and has made lifetime friends

    Our son loved camp at Tall Pines! It has everything you could ever want in a camp. Looking forward to returning next summer!

    My kids look forward to Tall Pines Day Camp all year long! The camp is all encompassing and offers so much variety for any child. The staff is phenomenal, many who are education professionals during the school year and camp staff during the summer.
    My children eagerly wake in the morning and look forward to spending time with their camp friends and counselors doing activities such as swimming, tons of sports, baking, Lego room, fishing, paddle boating, zip lining, driving range, theater, gaga, arts & crafts, horseback riding, and so much more!

    My son had the summer of his life!

    My grand children attend this camp and love it! there are so many activities to participate in and the staff is wonderful!
