LakeView Day Camp
LakeView Day Camp is a lakefront summer Day Camp in East Brunswick, New Jersey that has been serving campers for almost eighty years. LakeView is situated on a 21 acre property distinguished as a wildlife heritage on Farrington Lake. LakeView caters to all age groups from 4 to 15 years old with individualized activities to develop confidence and support personal growth for each camper at all age groups. Children’s fun and safety are our number one priority!
“Live Camp Love Camp” is the motto at our lakefront summer day camp in East Brunswick, NJ. Find out why LakeView is the right choice if you want more than just fun in the sun. Self-confidence, life long friendships, challenge and success are why campers return each summer. LakeView is not just a place you visit, it is a place you belong!
Our schedule caters to each age group from Pre-K to Teens:
Kiddie Kastle offer our youngest campers from Pre-K to Kindergarten a structured nurturing environment to develop social skills, confidence and build new experiences from dance, instructional swim from licensed swim instructors in age specific heated pools, arts and crafts, sports, mad science and play in our many playgrounds.
Main Camp for our 1st – 7th graders starts with a more structured schedule for younger campers and progresses to a “choice” based day where campers individually design a larger portion of their camp day. Though their years in main camp, campers experience exponential growth in a variety of activities made possible by the highly trained staff at every activity.
Teen Camp for 7th – 9th graders fill their days at camp with 100% choice-based programming, with exciting opportunities from Sports Leagues, Theater and Set Design, to more technical activities such as video Editing, and much more. To top it off, once a week, teens enjoy day trips to destinations such as Point Pleasant, Fireball Mountain or catch a Phillies game. The ultimate Teen experience is through our overnight trips. Great destinations, fun, and friendship lead to amazing growth in life skills, independence and maturity.
LakeView Leadership Program (LVLP), offers a select group the opportunity to learn the essential skills needed to be a LakeView staff member. Campers must apply for this 6-week minimum program that includes the full teen travel program and a daily choice activity schedule.

Kari and Jon took over as Owner/Director in 2018. Camp has always been about people, creating lasting friendships and building lifelong skills.
