About Island Shores

Island Shores Commitment

At the heart of Island Shores is a collective commitment to providing children with space and guidance to be the best versions of themselves. We believe that summer camp presents an opportunity for children to decompress, laugh, smile, build confidence, make friends and be celebrated. Our philosophy is rooted in building self esteem through play, self expression, teaming and exploration. In a world that is noisy and hectic, Island Shores is a place where children can come to be in the beautiful outdoors where they can hear themselves think, make new friends and enjoy being kids!

We welcome the partnership between your family and our camp family. We are always interested in hearing from parents so that we know exactly what your child needs. We are committed to continuous improvement and know that the best results come from open communication. We have an open door policy and want to hear from you!

Our Facilities

One of the best things about Island Shores is our stunning campus. Nestled within the scenic Stony Brook School grounds, we offer expansive fields, modern classrooms, two gyms, art studios, a theater, a heated pool, and a picturesque quad—perfect for classic camp games.

Bus Transportation

While parent drop off and pick-up is a popular option, bus transportation is also available in the surrounding towns and across eastern Suffolk County. To optimize the experience for our campers, bus transportation is a blend of door-to-door and central pick-up and drop-off. This is dependent upon where you live.

If you are in a central pick-up/drop-off location, there is a dedicated place (e.g., park and ride, church, etc.) where your camper will meet the bus each morning. You will pick your camper up at that same location at the end of the day.

We have found central bus transportation to be a tremendous benefit for the following reasons:

Significantly shorter bus ride for campers, less stop and go, more time at camp.

No extra waiting time, as you drop your camper off and the bus counselors are ready for them.

Pick up is easily predictable. Campers are tired at the end of the day, and they get home earlier with central pick-up.

Before/After Care

Island Shores offer before and after care from 8:00–9:00 a.m. and 4:00–5:00 p.m. The fee is $12 per hour or $20 for both morning and afternoon combined. Parents can choose to have their camper(s) participate as often or as little as they need it.

Please note that campers in before and/or after care must be driven by a parent or guardian.

Bus transportation is not available in conjunction with this program.

Lunch & Snacks

Campers can either bring lunch or have the option to buy lunch on a weekly basis. We will need to know the week prior if your camper(s) will be buying lunch.

Campers end every day at Island Shores with an ice or ice-cream treat! This is included in your tuition.

There is also the option to purchase additional snacks from our canteen cart.
