Do I have flexibility in the number of weeks my Son can attend?
Yes. Your son will have the option of attending 1-6 weeks. You choose the week or weeks that work for you. We evewn offer daily passes. But remember,
our program is designed so that with each additional week, your campers are enhanced with new chances that create growth as an athlete, student and a person. A special discount is offered when you register for more than 3 weeks at a time. See Dates & Rates
When camp is in session, can we add on weeks during the summer?
We would be thrilled if you decide to add on weeks contingent on availability of course. (We have a maximum number of campers permitted to participate per week and strive to maintain a safe and effective coach to camper ratio.)
Payment is requested in full, via cash or check and MUST be received by the first Monday of her added week(s). A special discount is offered when you register for more than 2 weeks during registration. See Dates & Rates
What should my son bring with him to camp?
His backpack should contain sunscreen (administered for the first time prior to leaving home in the a.m.), a water bottle filled with cold water (we will take care of the refills), any specific sport gear such as shin guards, baseball glove and lacrosse stick and label everything! However, if he does not have any of the equipment we always have extras!
What if my son needs medications at camp?
All medications must be maintained and administered by our Nurse. Separate forms are required to be filled out prior to camp.
What do I do if my son cannot make it to camp on any given day?
Please call the camp office or email us as early as possible to let us know. Unfortunately, we can not refund any missed days or guarantee make-up days. (depending on the availability each week)
Besides playing sports or working on their requested skill, what else will my son do at NLDC?
How does Camp Idol or slam dunk contest sound? The entire camp joins together and shows off their team spirit with these fun activities. Your son will be able to show off his creative side with team banner painting; tie-dye days; team skit, and cheer.
Is NLDC a competitive camp?
Our focus is on building skills, sportsmanship and teamwork. NLDC is NOT about the pressure to win.
Will my travel athlete be challenged in his sport (s)?
Your son will be challenged and our coaches are trained to motivate his to advance his skills. Our programs inspire growth and improvement for both the travel and recreational athletes in all the sports we offer.
Will my son play a variety of sports at NLC?
It’s up to him. Camp is elective based so the boys pick and choose what they want to do. We certainly encourage the kids to try new things.
Can my son come to camp and just work on one sport?
For our younger campers, our program offers the chance to experience variety and develop the confidence they need to determine where their interests may lie. For our older campers, they have the opportunity to focus on their sport of choice. We believe that multi-sport participation increases the athletic I.Q. of players and encourage campers to sample a variety of sports.
What if my son is not a great athlete and has never played various sports?
We will provide the perfect environment for him to explore interests he may have in different sports or in our many other non sports options all while having a blast.
I read that my son will grow as an athlete AND a person. How do you accomplish personal growth?

Who are the STEM instructors?
All of our instructors are trained educators, many of which are professional educators who work in Westchester County. Our instructions use exciting and creative ways to teach our STEM programs.
My son is struggling in Math/Science at school, will your STEM program help improve his Math/Science skills?
Our Summer program is designed to inspire and engage students in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Our courses are fun and hands-on. Although we dig into depth in a number of Science and Math areas, camp courses are not like most school courses. There are no tests or homework. Your son will gain more confidence in a subject area and enjoy learning as well.
