We've created a summer camp experience that promotes your child's growth, lets them choose their own schedule, explore new interests, and make lifelong friendships... all at our 42-acre day camp with a picturesque 5-acre lake in Millstone Township, New Jersey!
For over 30 summers, Central New Jersey families have trusted Black Bear Lake to give their children a summer full of friendship, adventure, and spirit - with every comfort and convenience parents look for, on a beautiful 42-acre campus and 5-acre lake.
A premier day camp in Central NJ, trusted by generations of local families.
An extensive swim program with instructional & free swim - plus towel service every day.
A delicious hot lunch with options included, served in our air-conditioned dining hall.
Each week, campers choose the activities they want to explore - from soccer and tennis to arts & crafts and cooking. With over 50 diverse activities, every camper builds a program designed around what they love.
When kids select the electives they're excited about, they make more friends and engage deeper with each activity. That's the Black Bear Lake difference.

"Our kids absolutely count down the days to summer at Black Bear. The staff creates such a warm, supportive environment, and we've seen incredible growth in both of them year after year. It truly feels like a second home."
