What Parents Are Saying...
"My son had another excellent camp experience this summer. He came home in tears tonight upset that camp is over. He had such a great fondness for his counselors and was ecstatic when Robin took the time to work with him on his swimming skills to pass the deep water test. (He) tried different food he would never try at home. He participated in activities that he would have never experienced if it wasn’t for Camp Riverbend. He made great friends and overall I cannot say enough wonderful things about this camp. It is truly a magical experience for these kids. The Breene family runs a dynamic program for 7 weeks and it is done with every detail planned and thought of. I am in awe of everything about it! ... Thank you again and congratulations to the Breene family for another camp season well done."
Allyson, Basking Ridge

John, New Providence
"Since the very first time we came for an open house visit we knew there was something special and even magical about Camp Riverbend. Our daughter spent 7 weeks here last summer and she loved every minute of her Camp experience. I am so glad we picked Camp Riverbend!"
Lucinda, Berkeley Heights
"My daughter had such a great first summer at Riverbend. She couldn't wait for the bus to come everyday! She is so excited for next summer."

Lisa, Bedminster
"We absolutely love camp Riverbend! There are so many fun and exciting activities. The staff is wonderful with the kids."
Nicole, Warren
“When choosing a camp for our kids, picking Riverbend was an obvious choice. I've know the camp for 40 years (having been both a camper and counselor) and the Breene family has clearly been taking loving care of the camp the entire time. The facilities are excellent and large - many and varied outdoor areas and fields to play in as well as sufficient indoor space for rainy days. Swimming instruction (and free swim) every day really helped my kids learn to swim when they were younger and the variety of other activities are impressive. They also continually improve the camp - every year there seems to be at least one new major addition build for the kids. And the staff, both the group counselors and the activity heads, are uniformly excellent. But most importantly, the kids love it. They are excited to go to camp everyday and come home having had a great time!”
David, Berkeley Heights
“It has been a true gift and pleasure watching my children grow and thrive during their summers at Camp Riverbend. My children feel so safe, happy and loved there, and can’t wait for another summer of new adventures and friendships. They especially love the Camp Riverbend traditions that make this place so special. From the lanyard to the cookouts, sing-a-longs, to the special events and counselor talent show, the Breene family certainly knows how to “do camp’!”
Lori, Summit
"This is our second season at Camp Riverbend and the experience keeps getting better. What stands out the most is the thoughtful detail, care for each child and wonderful facility. Looking forward to many more years of fun"
Jaime, Mountainside

Diane, Westfield
‘The Breenes offer a top-notch day camp program and are visible throughout the entire camp, overseeing the daily operations. My son looks forward to his summers and talks about Camp Riverbend experiences all year long!’
Jodi, Hoboken
“Nowhere I’d rather send my girls to camp than Camp Riverbend! I know that they are safe, cared for, happy as can be and are given opportunities I could never replicate. I’m excited for them to make lifelong friendships and for us to be yet another Camp Riverbend family! I’ve been hearing about this camp since the day I moved to the suburbs, now I totally understand why...”
