Center for Family Life’s campers had a spectacular summer filled with laughter and adventures!
This year, a total of 1,618 bright and eager children from grades K-8 immersed themselves in our summer programs. For 5 action-packed days a week throughout July and August, participants were engaged in a diverse array of full-day activities that fueled their growth in social skills, physical fitness, academic exploration, and artistic expression.
Here is a peek at some of the unforgettable highlights from CFLSP Summer Camp 2025! Let’s reminisce on the joy of summer!
Campers had a blast diving into exciting skill-building activities led by CFL staff! Their curiosity blossomed in the community garden, they fashioned t-shirts in a hands-on tie-dye session, and they channeled their inner entrepreneurs by designing their very own storefronts.
This summer, all campers took unforgettable trips that blended fun and learning! Campers took to the field for a thrilling behind-the-scenes tour of Citi Field. They got the ultimate baseball fan experience; campers stepped inside the dugout, looked into the exclusive VIP rooms, and even met a player.
Another highlight was visiting FDNY Engine 201 right here in Sunset Park. Campers loved climbing aboard the fire trucks, exploring the equipment, and trying out the fire extinguishers!
The Prospect Park Zoo was a site of exploration for many campers. Participants enjoyed meeting the different animals that call the zoo home.
Olympics are a beloved tradition at CFL Summer Camp! During this week-long event, campers don their team colors and engage in a variety of team-building and cooperative games, fostering fun, friendship, and friendly competition.
The excitement culminates in an awards ceremony and the symbolic end-of-the-day activity, Tug of Peace.
As is CFL camp tradition, campers celebrated the end of the season with performances, dazzling family and friends with the skills they developed in dance, music, and acting.
Summer camp at CFL was once again filled with joy, community-building, and lasting memories.
The parent of one camper remarked that their child “came home every day excited, full of new stories and learning experiences that have clearly motivated her to keep exploring and growing”.
We are deeply grateful to the staff, families, and community partners who made this summer truly special!
