The Tyler Place

Few all-inclusive family resorts can match the creativity, resources and outstanding child/staff ratios of our children's program for 2 1/2 and 3-year-olds. This early childhood program gives 2 1/2 to 3-year-olds the opportunity to experience all the fun and adventure of "real first camp" actvities in a warm, caring environment knowing their parents are nearby. The Children's Program Director and her staff provide just the right balance of educational and athletic activities and outdoor, old-fashioned play and fun.

"This is my first year back as a grown-up and I loved it as much as I did for the six summers I came here as a child. The Jr. Midgets program was terrific for our daughter - she loved catching fish & sprinkler time and the stories her warm & outgoing counselors read. And our daughter wasn't the only one who had fun - we found a pleasant group of people, mostly parents of other Jr. Midgets, to eat and laugh with." -M & S, Basking Ridge, NJ, Inn #101, 7/28-8/04. 2007

"You did your absolute best to make sure each of us - mom, dad, 2 1/2-year-old and 9-year-old - had a great time. Thank you." -J & A, Sutton, MA, Laura, 6/02-6/09. 2007

"I knew my big kids loved T.P. (being our 5th year) but I never could have imagined how much my 2 1/2-year-old would enjoy it. Thanks for a great vacation!" -C & A, Burke, VA, Inn #115-116, 8/11-8/18. 2007

"The Tyler Place exceeded all of our expectations! The counselors and staff were all incredible. We had an amazing time and can't wait to come back next year. What better way to spend a true family vacation. My 3 1/2-year-old twins want to live here!" -J & W, Sarasota, FL, Inn #117-118, 6/09-6/16. 2007

"Our Jr. Midget had an amazing time. He raved about his counselors as well as activities. Tyler Place packed so much fun into his schedule." -H & R, Westfield, MA, Inn #4, 8/25-9/01. 2007

"It was a great first-camp experience for our 3-year-old and good break for mom and dad." -P & C, Princeton, NJ, Ferncroft E, 7/28-8/04. 2007

"Tyler Place knows kids and how to make them - and their parents - totally happy without extravagance. We look forward to it for the other 51 weeks of the year. Our 3 1/2-year-old didn't arrive at Tyler Place until she got to her group - and then she was there!" -S & V, Bogota, Columbia, Redhead, 8/18-8/25. 2007

"This is, by far, the best family vacation we've ever had. Our 2 1/2-year-old daughter, who is normally reticent about being separated from us, eagerly went off to her children's program every day and called it 'her party'. Our 6-year-old, by the 2nd day, was asking if we could come back next year. There is a genuineness here that seems to define the Tyler Place and make it extraordinary." -B & B, Wilton, NY, Inn #2, 7/15-7/22. 2006

"We had an outstanding experience! In particular the ability of the Jr. Midget staff to make my 3-year old comfortable in camp was impressive. The food was great. The Tyler family and the staff seem naturally hospitable." -S & L, Sudbury, MA, Winnie's, 8/25-9/01. 2007
