School Break Camps in Westchester and the Hudson Valley for Days Off from School

Katherine Dhurandhar — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 14:38:45 +0000

We know how it is—the kids have a holiday break, and you don't! Or you just want to get them out of the house and off the screens during the school breaks. Luckily, there are lots of school holiday camps available in Westchester and the Hudson Valley that will not only keep your kids busy but teach them new and enriching skills.

We've rounded up multiple local places that offer camps during winter break, spring break, and even single-day school holidays. There are camps for kids who want to get their hands dirty in the great outdoors, hone their sports skills, or even learn to code their favorite game.

Be sure to check out our Family Activity Calendar for more fun things to do during the upcoming school break. And, if you're looking ahead to the end of the school year, bookmark our Guide to Summer Camp for Westchester and Hudson Valley Kids.
