Camp at Home: Virtual Birthday Parties

One thing that’s not stopping for coronavirus: kids’ birthdays! While we can't get together in a traditional way, there can certainly be an appropriately festive celebration. Camp, whose location at Hudson Yards opened last year, can help you give your child a day to remember, with both free and customizable events.

Join the daily birthday club:

Can you hear those giggles every day at 5? That’s the sound of birthday boys and girls everywhere partying in Camp’s free fêtes. To make your child one of them, all you have to do is tell Camp your child’s name and something special about them, send a video link to friends and family, and get the cake ready. You can even choose a theme, including singalongs, storytime, magician shows. Just make sure to sign up at least 24 hours before the big day.

Host a private celebration:

Want a more personalized experience for a birthday (or any other family “get-together” for that matter)? Camp has a bevy of entertainers—musicians like AudraRox and Little Maestros, comedians, crafters and puppeteers—just waiting to play host. For a fee ranging from $150-$500, you can invite as many people as you like, secure in knowing that Camp will bring the fun.

Treat non-birthday kids too:

So your child isn’t turning a year older at the moment. He or she would surely appreciate something special right about now, don’t you think? Check out Camp’s website, where every week you’ll find free downloadable activity books, for coloring, games, puzzles and other fun.
