COVID-19 UPDATE: For the Summer 2020 & 2021 seasons, we hosted thousands of enthusiastic and excited children! Our entire team worked tirelessly to ensure a safe environment. Some changes were necessary, activities were adapted, and extra precautions were taken where required. We are eternally thankful to all the parents, campers, and staff that played an integral part -- The past two summers will always have a special place with us.

Swim
Future Stars have use of St.Joseph's College pool during the summer camp season.
- The heated pool is located indoors at the Danzi Athletic Center.
- The pool is maintained by St.Joseph's College Athletics Department and has a Certified Pool Operator on-site throughout the summer.
- The pool is inspected by NY state (Suffolk County) Department of Health.
Campers have a recreational swim every day for about 45 minutes. Rising Stars and youngest Multi-Sports campers will also receive instructional swim each day.
Campers participating in the programs at the Outdoor Field Complex, a school bus provides transportation to and from the main campus for the campers and coaches.
Pool safety is taken very seriously, and the pool staff is highly qualified and carry numerous accolades and certifications, including WSI, Lifeguard Management, Lifeguard, First-Aid, and CPR_AED for the Professional Rescuer. They are involved in the 'Learn to Swim' program throughout the year.
Every Monday, each new camper is swim tested to determine level and ability, with regular buddy checks taken by our pool staff.
In addition to the pool, we also host our 'Future Stars Water Park' at the main campus field. At least three times a week, there will be inflatable water slides for campers to enjoy.
Lunch
Registered campers must bring their own lunch at the St.Joes site. Please pack lunch in a cooler type bag, as there is no refrigeration for lunches. All campers will eat in the air conditioned cafeteria located inside O'Connor Hall on the main campus.
There are plenty of drinking water fountains throughout campus, in addition to vending machines should your camper wish to purchase a drink during the day.
We are committed to being a 'nut-free' camp, so please make every effort to avoid packing foods that include nut products.
