Cedarbrook Day Camp in Somerset, NJ offers 27 acres of outdoor adventure, creative activities, and classic camp fun for kids. Our campus includes athletic fields, swimming pools, a spray park, sports courts, ga‑ga pits, arts & crafts studios, a game room, and air‑conditioned indoor spaces — giving campers plenty of ways to stay active, cool, and engaged all summer long.
Serving children from Pre‑K through 8th grade, Cedarbrook’s elective‑based program lets campers design their own day. Kids choose the activities they love most while exploring new interests, building confidence, and forming friendships in a safe, supportive environment.
Families with campers in 3rd–8th grade can also choose our popular hybrid day camp model, which blends three days at Cedarbrook with two days at Tranquility. This unique option offers the excitement of an overnight‑camp experience while still returning home each evening — perfect for campers ready for more independence without the full sleepaway commitment.
Throughout the summer, Cedarbrook adds extra excitement with special events, theme days, and off‑site trips, creating a dynamic camp experience that keeps kids energized and eager to return. From outdoor play to creative exploration, Cedarbrook Day Camp delivers a memorable, well‑rounded summer for every camper.
At Cedarbrook Day Camp, our signature Freedom of Choice Elective Program gives campers the power to design their own day by choosing the activities they love most. With 50+ diverse and exciting options, kids enjoy incredible variety — from sports and arts to adventure and creative exploration.

Discover new interests

The Freedom of Choice Program is what makes Cedarbrook one of the top summer camps, offering a personalized experience that keeps campers engaged, excited, and coming back year after year.

At Cedarbrook, Campers are Never “Just Another Camper.” We treat every child like family. Our counselors, instructors, and camp administrators build genuine, personal relationships with each camper, getting to know their personalities, interests, and needs. We understand that every child is different, and we take the time to support them as individuals. From guiding activities to offering encouragement to being there when a camper needs a moment, our staff is devoted to making sure your child feels seen, supported, and cared for — all while helping them create great summer memories that last long after camp ends.
Our goal has always been simple: create a summer camp that offers the highest quality experience at a price families can afford. Our mission has always been to deliver a high-quality, enriching camp experience that’s accessible to all—not just the top 1% of income earners. With the rising expenses of raising children, summer should be a season of adventure, growth, and fun, not financial stress. That’s why Cedarbrook is committed to keeping fees budget-friendly, while offering the same level of care, activities, and excellence you’d expect from the very best!
The Truth is Simple: Camps offering similar activities and amenities often charge 40–100% more. Do your homework, and you’ll see why Cedarbrook stands out.
