Since 1948, Lansman's Day Camp has given children a summer full of excitement, spirit and friendship. The camp is on Murphy Road, off Route 52 between Woodbourne and Loch Sheldrake in Sullivan County, on the grounds of Lansman's Bungalow Colony in the Catskills.

Our child-centered philosophy creates a supportive atmosphere where campers develop skills and values to last a lifetime, bringing children of diverse backgrounds together to grow artistically, athletically and socially.
