Once upon a time, in a land nestled between two mighty rivers, stood the vibrant state of New York, where the skyscrapers reached out to tickle the clouds and pizza slices were as large as kites. Its heart was a dizzying labyrinth of taxis, lights, and people, but this city-state was also home to lush green forests, shimmering lakes, and mountains that whispered secrets of the ancient earth. Here, the children were as lively as the city itself; a tribe of bright-eyed explorers and dreamers, always ready for their next big adventure. They were as diverse as the city's flavors, each one unique, each one special. But what these NY kiddos loved the most was their legendary Field Trips. You see, their classrooms weren't just confined to four walls; every corner of the metropolis and every leaf in the woodland was a page from the greatest book they could ever read. Leading these fantastic forays was their quirky guide, a cool cat named Skateboard Sam. Sam was no ordinary feline. He was a hipster cat who wore funky spectacles, sported a rainbow-colored tail, and rode a magical skateboard that glided above the ground. And oh boy, did Sam know every nook and cranny of New York! From the top of towering Empire State Building to the depths of the ancient Adirondack caves, they followed Sam, weaving through the city streets and hiking up the trails, their laughter echoing amongst the trees and skyscrapers. Each Field Trip was a roller-coaster of discovery, full of the magic of New York and the boundless curiosities of childhood. So strap on your adventure hats, kiddos, because in New York, every day is a Field Trip with Skateboard Sam!

At Camp Olmsted, our goal is to give children and families from disadvantaged backgrounds the chance to experience the joys of outdoor camping. This mission dates back to the early 1900’s and has been extended to include immigrant families too. In the 1960’s, the United Methodist City Society opened the United Methodist Camp Service, which allowed children and families from low-income neighborhoods in NYC to attend camp and offered support throughout the summer camp registration process. More recently, in 1997, the United Methodist City Society took ownership of Camp Olmsted and, along with registration for Camp Olmsted, children were given the chance to register for the Fresh Air Fund. This service has enabled countless underserved communities to experience the magic of camping.
