Kinderplace (Kindergarten program)

Kinderplace is a program for children who will enter kindergarten in the fall. The curriculum emphasizes socialization and interaction through creative combinations of play and learning. Theme-related activities in art, literature, math, music, and science are balanced with “center” time, stories, snacks, and outdoor play. Daily Red Cross swimming lessons included.

Summer Place (1st-9th graders)

From outdoor adventures to indoor creativity and academic exploration, Summer Place has it all. Campers follow a daily schedule that includes a half-day of enrichment courses and a half-day of sports or recreational activities. At Summer Place, campers get to choose from over 80 enrichment classes and 20 sports activities to build their own schedules based on their interests and grade level. The entire camp gathers together for opening and closing activities and lunch. Daily Red Cross swimming lessons included if desired.

Summer Place (SPLIT) (10th-12th graders)

At SPLIT, campers learn by doing. Campers attend workshops on management and leadership skills, team building, and self-discovery. SPLIT participants also gain hands-on experience working with Summer Place, Li’l Place, and Kinderplace campers. Each week is built around a different curriculum. Campers leave the program with a greater sense of responsibility and competency, a strong work ethic, and more confidence in their decision-making, leadership and problem-solving abilities.
