About Gate Hill Day Camp in Stony Point, NY
Since 1989, Gate Hill has been a part of the Male family. Josh, Bob, and Jennifer, the camp directors emeritus, have been overseeing the daily operations of the camp and providing supervision to both staff and campers. However, the word “family” extends beyond the Male family, with campers, parents, and staff all part of the Gate Hill family. We want to ensure that our campers have a fulfilling experience, so we provide parents with updates on their child’s progress, friendships, and stories that make them smile. We are also available to answer any questions that parents may have to make sure their child has the best possible camp experience.

Pathfinders: Entering Grades 1-2
The Pathfinder program is balanced between creative and physical activities designed to foster independence and build self-esteem. At this age, campers get to choose one weekly program elective, in addition to participating in the daily group and full camp activities. Pathfinders have caring and nurturing staff members chosen for their ability to work with younger children. Jr Pathfinders (ent 1st grade) still benefit from early childhood programs such as our Jr Sports and EC art programs, and an Early Childhood head counselor leads each Jr Pathfinder group.
