Palisades Country Day Camp (PCDC) is an incredible summer experience designed exclusively for young children, from 21-month-old “Tiny Tots” to 8-year-old “Senior Campers.” Conveniently located in Closter, PCDC provides a nurturing environment where campers thrive under the care of seasoned camp professionals and educators with extensive early childhood expertise.
“What sets us apart is our American Camp Association accreditation, beautiful campgrounds, exciting activities, and the nurturing staff who return year after year,” says Niki Livanis, Enrollment Coordinator.
PCDC’s swim program is a standout feature. American Red Cross-certified lifeguards teach age-appropriate aquatic skills and water safety, helping young swimmers gain confidence and empowering more experienced swimmers to refine and master new techniques. Campers swim twice daily in heated pools, starting with morning lessons and ending with recreational swim or splash park fun.
In addition to swimming, campers enjoy theme days, arts and crafts, ceramics, sports, nature, and music. Senior campers also participate in enrichment activities such as cooking, science, LEGOs, robotics/coding, dance, and woodworking.
“Our camp is more than a place to play—it’s a close-knit community where strong connections and lifelong friendships are built,” Livanis shares. Many former campers return as counselors, spreading the PCDC magic to the next generation.
At Palisades Country Day Camp, every moment is designed to inspire joy, build confidence, and create memories that last a lifetime!
