Camp PiP
Our day program, Camp PiP, is an immersion of mindfulness practices. Students study the art of living in the present moment via yoga, meditation, creative arts, + lots of time in nature. We pride ourselves in our 4:1 student to teacher ratio. Learning is not one-size-fits-all. We spend a lot of time + energy creating lesson plans that meet the needs of a diverse group of learners.
Students will spend their day participating in an array of mindfulness practices that include:
Learning pranayama (breath regulation)
Practicing yoga
Expressing gratitude
Discussing strategies to implement when faced with challenging situations
Painting, drawing, writing about their feelings
Observing thoughts through various types of meditation; learning ways to respond rather than react
Utilizing mindfulness tools as big feelings or conflicts arise while: playing board games, making arts and crafts, visiting local playgrounds, walking on nature trails, going to the library, playing water activities in our garden, and much more!

Camp Pip Cancellation Policy
Once you have registered your child for Camp PiP at Peace in Piermont it means that we have reserved the time in our schedule for your child.
Cancellation requests and camp schedule modification requests must be made via email to hello@peaceinpiermont.com.
If a cancellation request is received by Peace in Piermont at least 14 calendar days prior to the start of the Camp PiP session that your child(ren) is registered for, you will receive a credit to your account; we do not offer refunds.
No account credits will be made for cancellations received by Peace in Piermont less than 14 calendar days prior to the start of the Camp PiP session that your child(ren) is registered for. We have done our best throughout the pandemic to credit sick days but doing so is not a sustainable business model, as it significantly limits future income for our small business. We hope you understand.
Account credits can be used for any future class (subject to availability) and must be used within 30 days of cancellation.
All Camp PiP schedule modification requests are subject to availability.
When you register your child(ren) for Camp PiP you agree to these terms.
All sales are final, and no refunds will be given.
We follow the Lindgren School and South Orangetown Central School District calendars.
If your child(ren) attend another school and you’re interested in sending your child(ren) to PiP, we are happy to accommodate if there are at least four students interested in attending.

“Just this morning, my 4-year-old daughter exclaimed, ‘I miss yoga camp!’ She went to Peace in Piermont over Spring Break in April 2021 and loved every minute of it. I reminded her that starting in June, she is going to spend the whole summer there and she squealed that she can’t wait!
I love PiPs philosophy of teaching yoga, mindfulness and meditation to kids, all while engaging them in art, sensory play, reading, and so much more. The positive energetic and social outlet they specifically provide for kids is so desperately needed, especially now.
Finding PiP was a huge relief for me as a mom. My daughter is highly sensitive and can be hesitant to go new places and engage new people, but she felt at home at PiP from the first day, and wanted to keep going back. She needs to be prompted to eat on her own, and has low muscle tone and low stamina. At PiP, Katie, the owner, takes time to hear and understand each child’s unique needs, and works with parents to come up with a strategy and plan to make sure the child’s needs are met. I feel so comfortable sending my child there, knowing Katie has thought of everything and is on top of it all, and knowing my child gets so much out of it.
I love the family-oriented and community-centric essence of Peace in Piermont, and am so glad to be a part of it!”
“This place is absolutely sublime! I needed a place to drop the kids off when there was no school this summer (and was delinquent in finding a full time summer camp option) and stumbled on Peace in Piermont. WOW. The kids actually sobbed when they came home each night and I regret not getting to them earlier so I could get full weeks (they do fill up so book early!). I am obsessed with how caring the teachers (you can get updates during the day if you like) and the emphasis on kindness, yoga and mindfulness. I will definitely be returning and love how much the kids are getting out of it at such a young age (5!). Thank you!”
“Great addition to the Piermont community! Today my 5 year old son attended their “camp” since there was no school. He loved it! Him and his friend had a blast. What was even more impressive was how awesome Katie was! My son had some anxiety this morning about it and she made him feel right at home. Even texted pictures of him throughout the day. We will 100% be back!”
“Wow! My three year old son had a fantastic time this week at the PIP camp. He has been talking non-stop about all the fun activities. He loved the independence of going places in Piermont without his parents. He talked about the big kid who read him a book at the library and the other big kid who helped him with the legos. He taught me how to do elephant pose and how to stand on one foot . . . and he told me that Katie reads the best stories. I look forward to more classes and camp at Peace in Piermont.”
“We are so grateful for Camp Peace In Piermont. It has really given our three year old the opportunity to meet other children, and learn so much! He loves talking about his new friends and Miss Katie takes such great care of him. She is so patient, encourages his play and even refers to him as his favorite super hero, Spider-Man. He asks to do yoga at home, and his play skills have definitely improved. We love the communication and daily photos. We’re already excited to enroll him next year!”
