| A
Unique Environmental Camp Experience
For Girls and Boys |
Peconic Dunes Summer Camp provides 2 programs to meet the needs of our campers. Our 4H program includes basketball, kayaking, soccer, softball, swimming, canoeing, archery, campfires and cookouts. The E.C.O. program gives campers a chance to work on a variety of projects including, pond study, marine science, and forest and woodlands. Training in outdoor survival skills as well as fishing and environmental crafts are part of both programs. Peconic Dunes Camp is co-educational, offering sleep away or day camp experiences for children ages 8-15.
Located on the beautiful north fork of Long Island, Peconic Dunes is the perfect setting for learning about our Island's bountiful natural resources while enjoying the great outdoors. The camp is a part of the Suffolk County park system and is operated by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County.
