Summer camps
Davis Cup Junior Academy at East Hampton Indoor Tennis
East Hampton
Ages: The Davis Cup academy takes juniors of all levels and does not publish an age band. The club's Teen Tennis is 13-18 and its QuickStart clinics are 3-6. · Weekdays, 15 June - 4 September 2026 - the longest-running camp on the East End, and the only one open after the schools go back. · $1,800 per week per player full day, $1,500 per week half day. Teen Tennis is $130 per session or $1,100 for ten; QuickStart is $60 per session. · The 2026 sessions have finished.
Twenty-six courts, and it keeps going to 4 September when everything else out here has shut — which makes it the answer to the last-week-of-August problem. The QuickStart clinics take three-year-olds on the USTA-approved short courts, which is the youngest tennis anywhere in the guide.
Summer camps
Hampton Racquet Kids Camp
East Hampton
Ages: Three groups: Game On for 4-8 year olds, Development for 8 and over, and an Alumni programme for 14-18 year olds · 2026 session dates are not published on the camp page — they live inside the club's CourtReserve booking widget. Everything else below is published. · $1,450 per week, $390 per full day, $275 per half day. Alumni $1,000 per week or $250 per day. Returning campers from summer 2025 get 10% off the 2026 weekly camp. · 2026 dates are not published on the operator's own page.
A racquet club that runs a proper mixed camp rather than a tennis clinic — padel, beach tennis, archery, laser tag, chess, inflatables and yoga alongside the court time, with meals included. The day rate is the useful bit: $275 for a half day means you can use it for one awkward Tuesday rather than committing to a week. It is on Buckskill Road in East Hampton, not in Bridgehampton.
Summer camps
Ross Sports Camp
East Hampton
Ages: Sports Camp 4-16. The Inspirit AI weeks on this campus took 14-18 year olds; the Summer Day & Boarding programme took 12-16. · Eight weeks, 23 June - 14 August 2026. Inspirit AI ran 20 - 31 July here; Summer Day & Boarding ran two sessions, 5 - 18 July and 19 - 31 July. · $1,700 per week full day; the day-student programme is $1,700 full day and $1,100 half day. Bus $350 per week. Summer Boarding was $5,500 for two weeks and $9,975 for four. · The 2026 sessions have finished.
The Goodfriend Drive campus is where the sport and the AI weeks happen, and the age floor is four — the widest band of any camp out here. The tennis and STEM tracks on the boarding side are the part East End parents rarely realise is open to day students.
Story hour
East Hampton Library
East Hampton · Works in the rain
Runs a children's story hour.
One of the most beautiful libraries on Long Island, with a serious local-history archive on the second floor and comfortable reading rooms that stay open late. Temporary cards are issued same-day to anyone with a lease.
Beaches
Georgica Beach
East Hampton
Has lifeguards 10am-5pm (memorial day weekend-labor day weekend) and restrooms.
Yes — quieter than Main Beach with a mellower crowd. Worth it if your rental has a non-resident permit.
Beaches
Main Beach
East Hampton
Has lifeguards 10am-5pm (memorial day weekend-labor day weekend), restrooms and a Mobi-Mat a stroller can cross the sand on.
Yes — the polished Hamptons beach day if you can get a parking permit. Lifeguards, snack bar, the full scene.
