Day Camp (K-6th)
Our Day Camp Program is for children entering Kindergarten through 6th grade. We offer a flexible schedule, swimming everyday, weekly field trips and air-conditioned activity centers. We ensure safety and individual attention with each group consisting of between 16 and 20 children (depending on age) with 2 Senior Counselors (college aged students at least 18 years of age or older), or 1 Senior Counselor and 1 Co-Counselor (entering into his/her senior year of high school, these staff members have had to complete a minimum of 3 years in our Junior counselor program). Each group will also have 1-2 Junior counselors, these are high school students volunteering in our counselor in training program. Kindergarten* and 5th-6th groups are co-ed, while children entering first through 4th grade are placed in groups based on their gender and grade in school as of September 2012.
