Free Camp Fun Fest

Long Island Parent Magazine is hosting this event in conjunction with the publication of their Fourth Annual Town-by-Town Camp Guide.  A popular event with parents, the Fest enables moms and dads to speak one-on-one with camp directors.  There are also free activities for children, like face painting, hands-on science experiments, a bounce, first-aid demonstrations, theater games and more.

“This event is an informative opportunity for parents to interview camp directors and comparison shop for their child’s summer experience,” says Long Island Parent magazine publisher Liza Burby. “But it also gets children and their parents excited about the summer because the camps set up lots of fun, free activities to experience that day.”

Among the participants are A Touch of Class, Camps R Us, Camp Tranquillity, Destination Science, Funny Faces, Have Dummy Will Travel, Hofstra University, LIU Post Youth Camps, Madison Theater at Molloy College, Thomas School of Horsemanship and The Studio Dance and Pilates.
