Summer Camp Programs
Apogee New Jersey is an unconventional and immersive summer camp based on outdoor adventure. The curriculum is designed to build confidence, creativity, and lifelong friendships through its exciting programs, including:
Action Camp: Kick into full gear with these half or full-day camp sessions, including a variety of Brazilian Ju Jitsu classes, LEGO building, skateboarding camp, and more. Programs can be full or half day (AM or PM) and run from June 30th to August 15th for children ages 5 to 14 years old.
Forest Camp: This outdoor adventure camp is an exciting way to get outdoors and experience nature in its purest form. Think outdoor games, shelter building, nature arts, and creek play with different themes each week, all at the Alonzo F Bonsal Wildlife Preserve in Montclair. This camp runs from June 30th to August 8th from 9AM to 1PM.
Apogee New Jersey is more than a summer camp — it’s a community-focused, hands-on learning environment that introduces skill sets that traditional programs typically do not.
