Park Explorers Day Camp

History

At parents request, In 1984 Christine Altman put together a summer playgroup in Prospect Park. Each day this group of three through five year olds used their imaginations as we explored different areas of the Park. In thoughs days there were no fences around the woods. We would build with sticks, find tortises in the grass, cross streams on stones, catch frogs, play sports and games, read books, do art, get wet at the sprinklers, and play lots of sport games. Park Slope spread the word and we continued to grow. Now older children joined and so did our activities. We now traveled outside the neighborhood utilizing the pools, museums, zoos, and fun places throughout the city. Now we have grown into three divisions. We hire school buses to take us to many places around the city so that we can do it all. We have swim lessons, karate, gymnastics, sports, art and for 2nd graders and up specialty choices in sports, theater, gymnastics, cooking, building and construction and hands on science
