Flint Day Camp

Flint Day Camp is the day camp portion of the Dorothy P. Flint 4-H Camp, a 140-acre co-ed sleep-away camp located on the majestic Long Island Sound in Riverhead, NY. Designed for campers entering 1st grade through age 13, this program is perfect for those not quite ready for sleep-away camp or who prefer a shorter day camp experience.

Campers enjoy the full range of camp activities during the day, including themed days, engaging classes, exciting parties, and even a shortened version of the evening program that sleep-away campers experience. Lunch and a canteen snack are included daily, and extended hours are available for an additional cost.

Day Camp Highlights:

• Two Fun Theme Days Each Week: Campers participate in exciting activities and events tailored to the weekly theme.
• Mini Evening Program Experience: A condensed version of the sleep-away camp evening program, giving campers a taste of what to expect if they choose to return as sleep-away campers.

Our camp is accredited by the American Camp Association and licensed by the Suffolk County Department of Health. As one of the oldest 4-H camps in the state, we ensure your child’s safety, personal growth, and fun while creating memories to last a lifetime.
