If you’re looking for a unique indoor experience for your kids on a chilly or rainy day, head to the new CAMP store in Brooklyn, scheduled to open on December 1 2019. Unlike many other indoor play spaces in NYC, CAMP is a network of stores with rotating themed experiences. CAMP at City Point in Downtown Brooklyn will boast all of the same imaginative fun as the original Fifth Avenue location, including a cafe, a theater, interactive play stations, and of course, a super-cool toy store.

CAMP at City Point will open with the brand's BaseCAMP theme—the nostalgic summer camp experience that also marked the launch of the Fifth Avenue space last December. BaseCamp takes families back to a woodsy, cabin-filled summer camp, designed for exploring the wonders of nature, arts and crafts, sports, and play.

Created to inspire and engage, the store includes a café, a magic door that leads to an interactive space for play and shopping, and a theater for activities and programming for kids of all ages.
