If you’re looking for a camp that balances fun, safety, and personal growth for the “tween” age group, ESF is it. We are already looking forward to signing up for next summer!
Karina Francisca
The best camp around for our 3 kids. Multiple program options, adult staff who make camp extremely fun and meaningful, and ESF never disappoints. We’ve been campers for the past 7 years. There is no comparison when looking for a camp.

My kids had an amazing experience at ESF! The counselors truly went above and beyond—keeping them engaged all day while maintaining great communication so we always felt in the loop. The activities struck the perfect balance between exciting new experiences and a comfortable routine, which kept everything fun without feeling overwhelming. They’re already counting down the days until next summer!

Our son absolutely loved this camp! He learned how to swim and loved playing a variety of sports every day. He is excited to go back this summer!

Our child had the best time!! Each morning they were prepped, packed and in the car way before me (this NEVER happens).
Everyone was so nice, welcoming, and positive. They greeted the kids during drop-off and pick-up with such personal touch points. Our child isn’t quick to warm up. When I picked him up on the first day, they had a face full of smiles and was chatting with new friends. It is clear that the staff are what make this already strong program a true winner.

An all-adult staff is what impressed us along with the professionalism and care that they showed my children. They are the best of the best and we have tried many camps and they are above the rest.

They were wonderful with taking precautions in light of the pandemic. My son did a week of 76ers camp and Phillies Baseball Academy, for the first time. They tried to do as much as they could for the kids, within the limits of social distancing. Their information sessions before starting camp were comprehensive and informative. My son had a great time, loved his coaches, and can’t wait to go back for a few more weeks this summer! Thanks to all the staff at ESF Camps for a great, first time experience!
