Children's Program  

(for ages 6 – 9 and entering grades 1 – 4 in the fall)

Each session of the Children's Program is a 3-week program during which campers attend classes daily in art, music, dance and swimming. Eighty children are enrolled in this program (4 groups of 20). Applicants are placed into one of four groups based on age and grade in school. Each group is accompanied by two counselors who guide campers to and from their morning classes. Each class is taught by a qualified instructor and lasts approximately 45 minutes. The morning program runs from 8:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., with drop-off beginning at 8:30 a.m. Early drop off and pick up programs are available for an additional fee.

Youth Program  

(For ages 10 – 12 and entering grades 5 – 7 in the fall)

During each 3-week session, youth campers attend morning classes in computers, drama and swim lessons.  Applicants are placed into one of three groups based on age and grade in school.  Each class is taught by a qualified and enthusiastic instructor and lasts approximately 1 hour.  The morning program runs from 8:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. with drop-off beginning at 8:30 a.m.  

In the afternoon the Youth and Children's Programs combine.  The Afternoon program begins with a supervised lunch followed by a variety of indoor and outdoor activities led by counselors.  The afternoon activities change every day and always include a choice of at least one active activity and one more restful activity during each time slot.
