Summer camps shape city kids. Edison Youth Center Recreation Center runs programs that mix field trips, sports, and hands-on projects across Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Parents looking for structured weekday options during school breaks can find details by calling (917) 808-8526.

Across West 104th Street and Broadway, the center has become a fixture in a neighborhood where after-school space is at a premium.
