Asphalt Green is bringing its renowned Summer Day Camp programming to the Major R. Owens Health & Wellness Community Center this summer — offering Brooklyn families the chance to be a part of our very first Summer Playcation in Crown Heights!

Here are 5 reasons why families are already signing up:

A camp-style experience — without the full-day commitment.

Summer Playcation brings the joy of camp to kids ages 6–12 with swimming, sports, and movement — all led by our experienced team. Perfect for families looking for fun and flexible option for the summer, Playcation keeps kids active and engaged on your schedule.

Led by the team behind Asphalt Green Summer Day Camp.


Our camp programs have offered New York City transformative play and recreational opportunities for over 30 years, thanks to our expert camp staff. At Summer Playcation, you can count on a supportive environment, structured groupings, and experienced counselors.

Activities kids love, every single day.


From sports to swimming, this is your child’s chance to explore new interests and stay moving all summer long. Summer Playcation features dynamic, structured activities each day, including sports, arts and crafts, swimming, games, and weekly themed events.

When school’s out, we’ve got you covered.


We know summer coverage can be challenging. Summer Playcation gives your child a safe, active, and engaging place to be — so you can take care of your day knowing they’re in good hands.

A summer they’ll never stop talking about.


Playcation isn’t just a great option for this year — it’s the kind of experience your child will want to return to summer after summer. New friends, opportunity to discover new passions, and memories that can last a lifetime are few of many reasons families return to Asphalt Green Camps year after year.
