Summer Camps for ages 4–5 in New York.

208 camps in New York accept ages 4–5. Median week: $525; range $420–$665.

Picking a summer camp for a 4–5 year old in New York is mostly about ratios and routine. The ones that work — across day camps, parks-and-rec programs, and small specialty studios — keep groups under 8 kids per counselor, run a predictable rhythm (snack, activity, free play, snack), and don't pretend a 4-year-old wants the same week as a 9-year-old.

↘ What to look for

Ask the staff-to-kid ratio (1:8 is the floor for this age band), how they handle nap or quiet time, what their bathroom-help policy looks like, and whether they group strictly by age or mix the 4–5s with older kids in some sessions. If the camp can't give you the ratio off the top of their head, that's the answer.
