Q-Club

The Q-Club Summer Youth Program is a certified day camp, regulated by the NYS Department of Health. The Q-Club program offers children ages 5-12 a chance to participate in a variety of passive and active recreational activities. The program is run by a staff of trained counselors and qualified lifeguards. Q-Club also has its own Certified Aquatics Director, Health Director, and Progressive Swimming Instructor. All counselors must be at least 16 years of age and have experience in supervision of children.
