Kiddie Keep Well Camp

Kiddie Keep Well is the only camp of its kind in New Jersey and one of the oldest in the nation.

Located in Roosevelt Park, the Camp has room to accommodate 150 children at a time. There are two swimming pools, nine cabins, an administrative building, and a learning center.

Each summer the camp accepts about six hundred children, ages 7-15, from an applicant pool of 800 to 1000 children for one of four 11-day sessions at no cost to the families.

The camp asks school nurses to recommend students to the camp, and also receives referrals from guidance counselors, principals, and the New Jersey Department of Youth and Family Services. We look for children who would not otherwise be able to attend a summer camp.

Children who attend the camp participate in activities like swimming, arts and crafts, sports, nature, campfires, dance, and drama. We also hold fire-safety lessons, and sessions on anger management, self-esteem, and other character-building skills led by a social worker employed by the camp.

The Camp is accredited by the American Camp Association and licensed by the State Department of Health.
