Our philosophy is based on a belief in the unique worth of every child and our primary goal is to develop each camper's self-confidence as fully as possible. How do we achieve that goal? We start with a staff made up of experienced educators and caring role models. They implement an organized program of fun and exciting activities that provides multiple opportunities for campers to learn, succeed, and feel good about themselves. Add to this picture our beautiful 65-acre campus on the North Shore of Long Island and you can see why Friends Academy is a smart choice for families who care about the quality of their child's summer experience.
