Get ready to rock and roll at our totally tubular 80’s Themed Summer Camp at Sky Village NYC! This summer, we’re taking your kids on a radical ride back to the '80s, where neon colors, big hair, and cassette tapes rule! 

 

Each day will be filled with retro fun, where campers will learn about the iconic culture of the 1980s through awesome activities, games, and creative projects.

 

Campers will explore everything from classic arcade games, cool fashion trends, to the music that defined the era. They’ll even get the chance to try out some gnarly 80's dance moves like the Moonwalk and the Running Man! Every afternoon will wrap up with a fun 80's-inspired arts and crafts project, such as friendship bracelets, tye-dye tshirts, and cassette tape crafts! Kids will also enjoy outdoor activities like retro dodgeball, water balloon fights, and super fun obstacle courses.

 

Our camp is for children ages 5-8 years old, from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM -- Extended care is available until 6:00 PM five days a week!

 

Registration for summer camp is flexible allowing our families to commit to one week at a time.
