Our Mission

At Hofstra Summer Camps, we believe every child deserves the chance to discover their strengths, explore new passions, and belong to a community that celebrates who they are. Our programs combine fun and learning to help campers grow in confidence, curiosity, and teamwork while building friendships that last a lifetime.

Led by Hofstra’s expert instructors and coaches, campers take part in hands-on experiences that inspire creativity, leadership, and resilience. Every activity is designed to help them grow with purpose, both on and off campus.

Our Values

• Purpose - Striving to grow with intention and curiosity.
• Respect - Treating every camper, counselor, and friend with kindness.
• Integrity - Doing what’s right, even when no one is watching.
• Diversity - Celebrating each camper’s unique background and story.
• Empathy - Understanding others and lifting each other up.

Hofstra Summer Camps Grant

We’re proud to celebrate our Hofstra Summer Camps community! Students who attended Hofstra Summer Camps in 2025 and later enroll as full-time undergraduates at Hofstra University will receive an additional $1,000 Hofstra Summer Camp Grant, renewable each year, on top of any merit-based scholarship they may qualify for through the admissions process.

Each applicant will be individually reviewed for merit scholarships based on academic achievement and other criteria. The $1,000 Camp Grant will then be added to their total award package and can be renewed annually, provided the student maintains the required GPA.
