Team Members

We are the
Summer Camp Experts

We have two on site Directors and we have several Head Counselors. While our Directors oversee the entire camp operation, our Head Counselors are tasked with the various activities that take place. Our staff includes an Aquatics Director, Dance & Martial Arts Demonstration Director, Athletics Director, Food Safety Specialist. We find this division of responsibility to be an advantageous to the enormous amount of entertaining and activities that take place each day.

This also ensures that we can offer the individualized attention and quality that our Magic Summer Day Camp families have grown to expect.

We staff an experienced Transportation Director to ensure the safety and reliability of all our transportation from pick up to drop off as well as the coordination of transport throughout the day when we go on trips.

Our summer camp staff is comprised of strong leaders, caring, and skilled, quality professionals hand selected for their professionalism, love of children, and commitment to creating the best summer camp experience for your children.

Our directors and head counselors are retired and current New York State certified teachers or New York City Department of Education employees. They are all long-time members of the Magic Summer Day Camp family.  They are trained and certified in Cardiac Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), First Aid and Responding to Emergencies (RTE).  At least one head counselor, trained in EpiPen administration is always available on trips and at our summer camp home base in Bayside. Altogether, our summer camp operations team, our summer camp directors and summer camp head counselors all have backgrounds in education, guidance, childcare as well as over 100 years combined in real-world hands-on experience in the care and education of children and adolescents of all ages, cultures, and abilities.
