Your Adventure Awaits
Since 2003, Summer Adventures at The Knox School, has provided a superior summer experience like no other. Located on the exclusive North Shore of Long Island, New York, our waterfront campus is 38 acres of clean, rolling grounds bordering Stony Brook Harbor. The air is fresh and the campus is vibrant with the colors of summer. Knox is a short train ride to New York City.
A CULTURAL IMMERSION
Knox's Summer Camp is designed for campers to enjoy an early experience of living away from home in the safety and security of a supervised and structured boarding environment. We provide International students with an experience that is comparable to that of American teenagers during their summer break, and allows them to be involved in American culture and entertainment first-hand while improving their English speaking skills.
DISCOVER NEW YORK CITY
Part of American culture you won't want to miss is a visit to THE BIG APPLE! Our program takes you to see the exciting sights and attractions ONLY found in New York, like the The Statue of Liberty, Central Park and the American Museum of Natural History.
