Official 2025 Video Yearbook announcement.
As summer memories begin to settle into stories that will be told for years, Liberty Lake Day Camp is premiering its 2025 Video Yearbook — an immersive cinematic reflection of another unforgettable season at one of New Jersey’s most respected day camps.
Set to debut next Wednesday, December 24 @ 9am- the start of most kids’ winter vacation, the annual Video Yearbook captures far more than activities and events. It documents the moments that define childhood summers:
confidence gained, friendships formed, challenges overcome, and the joy of belonging to a community that feels like home.
For Liberty Lake Day Camp, the Video Yearbook has become a meaningful tradition that brings together campers, families, staff, and alumni through shared memories and a collective story.
Founded in 2002, Liberty Lake Day Camp has spent a quarter of a century creating outdoor, screen-free summer experiences rooted in safety, character development, and connection. Each year, the Video Yearbook serves as a visual reminder of why camp continues to play such an important role in children’s lives.
“The Video Yearbook isn’t about showcasing activities,” said Founder and Director Andy Pritikin. “It’s about capturing the the energy, the happiness. It’s the small moments — kids trying something new, laughing with friends, finding their place in our summer community — the things that make camp meaningful.”
A Summer Told Through Real Moments
The 2025 Video Yearbook highlights the full range of Liberty Lake’s program — from morning energy at assemblies to quiet moments of reflection by the lake. Viewers will see campers engaging in athletics, creative arts, STEM challenges, adventure activities, and community-building traditions that define
the Liberty Lake experience.
Unlike highlight reels built for promotion, the Video Yearbook is created first and foremost for families and campers. It reflects the real rhythms of camp life and authentic interactions that happen when kids spend their days unplugged and engaged with one another.
Parents frequently ask what a typical day at Liberty Lake feels like. The Video Yearbook answers that question in a way words alone cannot — through smiles, teamwork, perseverance, and joy.
A Community That Extends Beyond Summer
For many families, Liberty Lake Day Camp is more than a seasonal program. It’s a multi-year journey that often spans childhood, adolescence, and even parenthood. Alumni frequently return as counselors, and former campers enroll their own children.
The Video Yearbook resonates deeply with this extended community. Alumni watch to reconnect with familiar traditions. Staff members see the impact of their mentorship. Parents revisit moments their children experienced while growing into more confident versions of themselves.
This sense of continuity is central to Liberty Lake’s identity as a
values-based youth development program — one focused on integrity, teamwork, independence, and friendship.
Storytelling with Purpose
Each year’s Video Yearbook is carefully curated to reflect Liberty Lake’s mission and philosophy of “Character and Community.” It reinforces what sets the camp apart: intentional programming, experienced leadership, and a culture where safety and belonging are foundational.
Liberty Lake is also recognized for its nationally recognized inclusion program, which ensures children of all abilities can fully participate in camp life. Moments of belonging and connection are woven naturally throughout the video, reflecting a community where every camper matters.
“The most powerful moments are often the quiet ones,” Pritikin shared. “A child feeling accepted. A camper finding confidence. A group learning how to work together.”
Premiere Details and Access
The 2025 Video Yearbook will premiere next Wednesday, with access shared directly with families and the Liberty Lake community through their
YouTube channel,
Facebook,
Instagram, and
TikTok. After the premiere, the video will remain available on multiple platforms for viewing and sharing, allowing “Liberty Lakers” to revisit the summer whenever they wish.
Updates, viewing details, and additional announcements can be found on the
Liberty Lake Day Camp website, where the camp regularly publishes official news and updates.
As Liberty Lake continues to celebrate milestones and look ahead to future summers, the Video Yearbook remains a cherished tradition — a reminder that while summers may pass quickly, their impact lasts a lifetime!
