Camp TV

Welcome to Camp TV, a summer day camp experience for kids ages 5-10 in your living room that blends day camp and learning into one hour of playful fun!

Our enthusiastic head counselor, played by Zachary Noah Piser, guides “campers” as they learn through play. Content partners  include Carnegie Hall, Exploratorium, Memphis Zoo, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New Victory Theater, NY Public Library, OK Go, They Might Be Giants and more. 

Providing ideas for fun activities to kids, Camp TV is hosted by a head counselor played byZachary Noah Piser, a Broadway performer (“Dear Evan Hansen,” “Wicked”) who guides campers as they learn through play.

Head counselor Zach kicks off each episode with a welcome song and announces the day’s theme: silly hat day, camping day, rhyme day, silly sock day, backwards day and more.

Zach will then guide campers through a variety of learning experiences — exploring nature, math, science, the arts, movement, storytelling, writing and more. For example, kids will learn about surface tension while making bouncing bubbles and discover shapes while creating a flying origami star.

Other hands-on creative activities will include learning how to do magic tricks, turn sneakers into tap shoes, create an oboe from a straw and make guacamole.

Kids will be introduced to animals, from a playful bearcat to chickens who like classical music. Every episode also includes a storytelling segment that features a different book of the day.

Camp TV is produced by The WNET Group in New York City. Major funding for Camp TV is provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Additional funding is provided by Joan Ganz Cooney.
