Choosing the right summer experience for your child is about more than just filling the calendar—it’s about finding a place where they can discover new passions, build lifelong skills, and, of course, have an unforgettable blast. At Westchester Child Development Center (WCDC), we’ve designed our 2026 Summer Camp to be the ultimate launchpad for curious minds in grades K–5.

From high-tech robotics to incredible Friday field trips across New York City, here is everything you need to know about our upcoming season and why WCDC remains the best choice for Westchester families.

A Summer of Real-World Discovery

Our camp doesn't just teach—it empowers. Through a choice-driven, challenge-based structure, campers take ownership of their learning while working toward meaningful weekly projects.

Core STEM Foundations

Every morning, all campers dive into our signature STEM curriculum, ensuring a strong foundation in the skills of the future:

LEGO Robotics & Engineering: Build and program robots using LEGO SPIKE Prime.
Coding Foundations: From storytelling in Scratch (K–3) to logic-building in Python (4–6).
AI Concepts for Kids: An age-appropriate look at how machines "think" through pattern recognition and decision-making models.
3D Printing & Prototyping: Moving from a digital idea to a physical 3D-printed prototype.

Integrated Afternoon Challenges

We believe in a well-rounded rotation. Monday through Thursday, students rotate through all challenge areas—Robotics, AI, 3D Printing, and even Digital Media tools like Canva and Wix—ensuring broad exposure and creative balance.

The WCDC Advantage: NYC Exploration

Every Friday is Field Trip Day, where we take our learning on the road to some of the most iconic destinations in the NYC area. Each trip is carefully aligned with our weekly "Mission Theme":
