A hoop of fire he\u2019s about to leap into.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">He\u2019ll pass through the flames and into a swimming pool at Pierce Country Day Camp in Roslyn. A camp owner-director braving the dramatic jump in front of campers and parents is a tradition masterminded by Pierce\u2019s great-grandfather Forrester \u201cPop\u201d Pierce, who founded the summer camp in 1918.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThe trick is to go through fast, like when you put your finger through a candle,\u201d says Pierce, 32. \u201cIt\u2019s a little bit scary, but mostly thrilling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">When Pierce leaps this July, he\u2019ll mark the 100th summer of Pierce Country Day Camp, which has been owned by four generations of the Pierce family. Will now runs the operation along with his cousin Courtney, also 32, and three members of what they refer to as \u201cGeneration Three\u201d \u2014 Doug, 64, Greg, 60, and Forrester III, 59. Pop Pierce and the members of Generation Two are long gone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">More than 900 campers ages 3 to 13 now attend Pierce each summer, and they have included children of the rich and famous, such as Donald Trump\u2019s 5-year-old granddaughter Arabella, daughter of Ivanka, who attended during the summer of 2016. In fact, one day last summer, in the midst of campaign season, Trump himself got her off the camp bus on her trip home to Manhattan, Forrester Pierce says, which amazed the bus staff. \u201cAs soon as they pulled away from the front door of the building, the phone rang here,\u201d Forrester says, with the staff reporting the happening. \u201cThey were very excited.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">For decades, all of the Pierce family members have lived in homes either on the camp property or around its perimeter. \u201cMy cousins and I grew up like siblings,\u201d Pierce says. \u201cWe would get home from school and run amok on the camp grounds. We were all counselors together.\u201d And Generation Five has now begun \u2014 Will has a daughter, Brooke, 2, and is expecting another child this summer \u201cright in the middle of camp,\u201d and Courtney has two sons, Johnny, 4, and Charlie, 2, and is due with a third child in February. \u201cI wanted to give my children the kind of family environment and experience I had growing up,\u201d Will Pierce says. \u201cI\u2019m hoping one of my children will fall in love with the business and want to take it over like I did.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_132\" style=\"width: 508px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-132\" class=\"wp-image-132 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/piercecamps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/pierce-retro.jpg\" width=\"498\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/piercecamps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/pierce-retro.jpg 498w, https:\/\/piercecamps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/pierce-retro-300x241.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 498px) 100vw, 498px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-132\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Credit: Pierce Country Day Camp\/Marisol Diaz)<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\">Pierce is among the oldest day camps in the United States. \u201cIt\u2019s rare for a camp to be in business for that long. Seventy-five years is an extraordinary amount of time,\u201d says Susie Lupert, executive director of the American Camp Association, New York and New Jersey. The ACA is the accrediting body for U.S. summer camps. \u201cIt\u2019s not just considered one of the oldest camps, but it\u2019s also considered one of the best camps. They have been tireless leaders in the camp industry,\u201d Lupert says. \u201cThey really are examples of people who are dedicated to youth development.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Pictured: Helen Pierce, standing at left,\u00a0with Forrester &#8220;Pop&#8221; Pierce seated at right, work with staff at\u00a0Pierce Country Day Camp.

Pierce has grown to be among the biggest and most expensive camps on Long Island \u2014 eight weeks of swimming in the camp\u2019s seven swimming pools, playing sports, making arts and crafts, shooting arrows at archery and more costs $8,950. Forrester Pierce says that\u2019s so the camp can maintain state-of-the-art facilities \u2014 in 2016, for instance, the camp added an enormous treehouse called Treemendous and an outdoor \u201cmusical playground\u201d dubbed Musical Rhapsody that includes a piano, xylophone and more. \u201cThat was just one year of capital improvements,\u201d Will Pierce says.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_134\" style=\"width: 609px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-134\" class=\"wp-image-134 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/piercecamps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/pierce-fun.jpg\" width=\"599\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/piercecamps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/pierce-fun.jpg 599w, https:\/\/piercecamps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/pierce-fun-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 599px) 100vw, 599px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-134\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Credit: Marisol Diaz)<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\">Ron Katz, 64, of Woodbury, was a camper at Pierce in the early 1960s. He sent his daughter Kim London, 39, of Port Washington, to Pierce and she was also a counselor there. \u201cThere\u2019s every single activity you could ever wish to participate in,\u201d London says of the camp. \u201cI was the kind of kid who was a jack-of-all-trades, master of none. For me, having a variety of activities throughout the summer was perfect for my personality.\u201d London now sends her daughter Brooke, 5, to Pierce.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Pictured:\u00a0Madison Rosen of Manhasset 4, Brooke Lubin 4, of Roslyn of Chloe Schmidt 4, of Roslyn play the piano at Musical Rhapsody Garden at the camp.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_135\" style=\"width: 513px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-135\" class=\"wp-image-135 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/piercecamps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/pierce-day-camp-alumni.jpg\" width=\"503\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/piercecamps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/pierce-day-camp-alumni.jpg 503w, https:\/\/piercecamps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/pierce-day-camp-alumni-300x239.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 503px) 100vw, 503px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-135\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Credit: Pierce Country Day Camp)<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\">During the winter, Pierce runs a preschool on the grounds.

During the summer of 1943, for instance, Yankee baseball legend Babe Ruth visited camp. During the summer of 1992, the camp buried a time capsule in honor of its 75th anniversary, which they will dig up this July. During the summer of 2014, the five current owner-directors participated in the Ice Bucket Challenge in front of the entire camp. \u201cThat was a fun moment because the camp loved it,\u201d Forrester Pierce says. \u201cGood old wholesome fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_137\" style=\"width: 609px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-137\" class=\"wp-image-137 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/piercecamps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/pierce-retro-pool.jpg\" width=\"599\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/piercecamps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/pierce-retro-pool.jpg 599w, https:\/\/piercecamps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/pierce-retro-pool-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 599px) 100vw, 599px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-137\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Credit: Pierce Country Day Camp)<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_138\" style=\"width: 303px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-138\" class=\"wp-image-138 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/piercecamps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/pierce-retro-slide.jpg\" width=\"293\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/piercecamps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/pierce-retro-slide.jpg 293w, https:\/\/piercecamps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/pierce-retro-slide-220x300.jpg 220w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 293px) 100vw, 293px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-138\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Credit: Pierce Country Day Camp)<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\">Pierce tries to keep a balance between maintaining the spirit of camp days of yore and meeting the demands of a providing a modern camp, Forrester says. The day camp still has the giant robot slide (pictured), for instance \u2014 \u201cWhen we have parents come back with their kids they say, \u2018Gigantor is still here!\u2019 \u201d Courtney Pierce says \u2014 but has eliminated a former program in riflery \u2014 \u201cThat wouldn\u2019t go over with the parents these days,\u201d Courtney says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">These days, parental involvement is much greater than it was decades ago, Forrester says. The camp has nearly tripled its office staff to handle calls from parents asking about transportation, suntan lotion, hydration and more, Forrester says. And for kids, the scheduling of activities is broader \u2014 the camp has added a STEM program and a theater program, for instance.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_139\" style=\"width: 609px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-139\" class=\"wp-image-139 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/piercecamps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/pierce-camp-activities.jpg\" width=\"599\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/piercecamps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/pierce-camp-activities.jpg 599w, https:\/\/piercecamps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/pierce-camp-activities-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 599px) 100vw, 599px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-139\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Credit: Marisol Diaz)<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\">Pictured:\u00a0Laylah Kaypour, 4, of Port Washington walks the bridge on Treemendous in Pierce Country Day Camp in Roslyn, Aug. 19, 2016.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_140\" style=\"width: 609px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-140\" class=\"wp-image-140 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/piercecamps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/pierce-camp-summer-fun.jpg\" width=\"599\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/piercecamps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/pierce-camp-summer-fun.jpg 599w, https:\/\/piercecamps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/pierce-camp-summer-fun-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 599px) 100vw, 599px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-140\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Credit: Marisol Diaz)<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\">Though Forrester Pierce says he spends much of the camp day in the office, he takes a lap around the camp grounds at least twice a day during the summer. \u201cYou hear the kids squealing and laughing,\u201d Forrester says. \u201cNothing can bring a smile to your face more than listening to happy kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Pictured: Sophie Weiss of Roslyn and Emma Forchheimer of Roslyn play xylophone at the camp&#8217;s Musical Rhapsody Garden.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_141\" style=\"width: 609px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-141\" class=\"wp-image-141 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/piercecamps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/pierce-water-park.jpg\" width=\"599\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/piercecamps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/pierce-water-park.jpg 599w, https:\/\/piercecamps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/pierce-water-park-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 599px) 100vw, 599px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-141\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Credit: Marisol Diaz)<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\">That\u2019s made it worth the fact that for every single summer of his entire life he\u2019s been working at the family\u2019s camps, Forrester says. \u201cI begged my father in college to have a summer off to drive cross-country.
