# Schmoopy's #1 Beach Experience!

1/6 THANK YOU! About Schmoopy's is the Best Beach Camp Experience for  Boys and Girls Ages 5-15! Campers! About Us! Contact Us! Summer 2026 Thank You from Schmoopy’s Important Update for Summer 2026 Hello Schmoopy’s Families, ​ I want to inform you that Schmoopy’s will not be hosting camp for Summer 2026. ​ For six incredible summers, Schmoopy’s has welcomed over 750 families, served 10,000+ ice cream orders, played 100+ dodgeball games, hosted at two locations (not exactly by choice—but we made it work), and most importantly, continued to provide the absolute best beach camp experience possible for your children. ​ This is all possible due to your trust of our staff, enthusiasm for our program, and loyal support for the fun culture we built. Our goal for your kids to build friendships and create the best memories at the shore has been accomplished.  From a small summer camp during the COVID pandemic to over 50 campers a day, we're proud to end on a high note. ​ As I look ahead to this next chapter, I’ll be stepping into a business development role at a fast-growing AI company called Rilla. Rilla uses artificial intelligence to analyze real-world conversations and help businesses improve performance through better coaching and insights. I would genuinely love for you to check it out, and there may even be opportunities to reconnect in this new capacity. ​ As this is a heartfelt thank you, I hope to stay in touch and cross paths again in the future. Thank you for supporting the best summer camp down the shore! ​ Best, ​ Ryan Orlov CEO & Founder, Schmoopy’s ​   ​​ Down the shore, Campers Rank Schmoopy's  #1 Best Experience ​ ​ ​   "Harrison ranks Schmoopy's #1 of all of the camps he attended last summer (and there were many).  He really had the best time.  You made camp so much fun, even for a kid who normally isn’t a big fan of the beach!" - Harrison's Mom, Lower Merion PA MORE ABOUT SCHMOOPY'S ​Schmoopy's beach Party is a really fabulous camp! My 2 kids, ages 9 and 11, participated last summer and loved it! Favorite activities were flag football, spike ball, and jumping waves. My kids can't wait to attend this summer! I highly recommend Schmoopy's Camp to your family! Your kids will love it!  Warmly, Pam Vail  Penn Valley, PA  6ABC News DownBeach Article Check us out on the news CONTACT US! 609-905-5333 Info@Schmoopys.org CALL/TEXT EMAIL
