Harvey Cavalier Summer Camp (Katonah) 


The Cavalier Camp offers children entering grades pre-K through grade 9 a unique summer doing the things they want to do for personal exploration and fun! 

Children can pursue their passion for the performing and/or fine arts or choose from a wide array of electives in computers, science, indoor/outdoor sports, swimming, gymnastics, martial arts, circus arts and even ice skating! Our campers develop the confidence that comes from mastering new pursuits and meeting others with similar interests – all in a nurturing, relaxed and beautiful environment

With more than 50 electives to choose from,  all offered by adult instructors in state-of-the-art facilities on Harvey's sprawling campus, children design their own summer schedule. Cavalier Camp is a day camp program with the feel of sleep away but without the sleep.

The campus features hiking trails, expansive athletic fields, an outdoor pool, indoor ice rink, a magnificent arts center and outstanding indoor athletic facilities.

Campers return each year because they enjoy following their own schedule, knowing each day is different, and make many new friends who share their interests. For 23 years the Harvey Cavalier Camp has enjoyed an excellent and well-deserved reputation for the quality and safety of its program. We are proud to say it’s “a camp as extraordinary as your child.”
