“We love Oasis in Dobbs Ferry”
“We love Oasis in Dobbs Ferry! This summer will be my oldest daughter’s fourth summer with Oasis and her younger sisters are very excited to finally be able to join her at camp. My oldest daughter has had a fantastic experience every summer – learning how to swim her first year and improving each year after that, trying new activities and sports, making new friends that she now looks forward to seeing each summer, performing in the annual show for parents, and just having an overall blast! The staff is caring, organized, and exceptionally energetic, even on the hottest summer days.”
