Caroline and Brooke on the veranda

Two Fairfield County Moms on a Mission

We started The Camp Edit over cold brew on a humid Tuesday morning in July while waiting in a 40-minute camp pickup carline. We realized that while parents in Fairfield County and Westchester talk endlessly about summer camps, no one was publishing honest, independent, and comprehensive reviews.

Our Independence Promise

We do not accept free camp sessions, paid influencer placements, or sponsored endorsements. Every camp review on this website is conducted independently using public information, direct campus audits, parent interviews, and our own children's experiences.

Caroline Hayes

Westport, CT • Mom of 2 (Ages 5 & 8)

With a decade of experience as a lifestyle and family publication editor in Manhattan, Caroline brings a sharp editorial eye to camp communications, tuition disclosure, and lunch program nutrition. When she isn't timing carlines, she can be found at Compo Beach with her golden retriever.

Brooke Van Der Bilt

New Canaan, CT • Mom of 3 (Ages 4, 7 & 10)

A former corporate brand strategist and lifelong Fairfield County native, Brooke focuses on counselor maturity, emotional intelligence, staff retention rates, and water safety standards. Her kids have attended four different day camps over the last six summers.
