A Camper's Paradise in Rockland County on 4-mile Lake Tiorati, Red Cross Swim Instruction, 200 activities and sports, door to door transportation included!
Day Camp In The Park since 1979 has provided an amazing summer day camp for kids in Rockland County, Manhattan, Bergen County, Westchester County, and Orange County. DCITP is located on a 500+ acre nature preserve on majestic Lake Tiorati in Harriman State Park in Rockland County, NY. We have created a camper's paradise for our children to learn, grow, feel safe, have fun, and be happy! From Arche
500 acres of a pristine nature preserve less than 30 minutes from your front door means every single day is an adventure filled with play, motion, learning, and an extensive love of the outdoors! There are a lot of benefits you might never realize are important; think about how different soundscapes around us might effect our mood and our growth.

Dear DCITP Family,
We hope that you are enjoying the holiday season. As we embark on a new year, we have many plans and hopes for 2026.
Camp enrollment so far has been superb and we are ensuring we have the top quality staff for a fantastic summer. Luckily over 90% of our staff come back every summer!
Our main focus now is to add a few talented people to our wonderful returning counselors and specialists. We will also be completing numerous improvements this offseason as well in our facility – new cabin roofs, new gymnasium walls, new ceiling fans for our cafeteria, newly painted boomball area, a renovated and expanded garden center, new water fountain, a new obstacle course to add to our unmatched waterpark, and more!
As we prepare for our 47th season, our goal has never wavered to provide a fun-filled safe haven for our campers to learn new skills, make new friends, and be happy.
We wish a healthy and Happy New Year to all of you and your loved ones!
Sincerely,
Ken, Karl, Paul, Leia and Bryan
