Senior Camp
For campers entering grades 5 & 6.
Available at all locations.
Even more variety.
Senior Camp offers the kind of variety and options that rising fifth, and sixth graders enjoy. In the context of a full recreational summer program, the underlying theme in Senior Camp, Time Travel, has campers making crafts, playing games, and participating in special events, all while learning about the cultures and time periods they “visit.”
Mini-academies provide time for "present day" elective activities like arts & crafts, music, drama, martial arts, nature, archery, basketball, soccer and baseball. These are longer periods, great for really getting into the project or game.

Overnight
Our annual three day, two night trip to Club Getaway, a top-notch residential camp in the Berkshires, is always a popular choice for our campers. Solid camp friendships and close relationships with the staff give our Senior Campers the confidence they need to enjoy what for many is a first overnight camp experience. Travel is by first-class coach bus.
This trip is optional.

Add weeks in Sports Academy or a session of Take the Stage
Would your child enjoy a couple of weeks of sports instruction or are they ready to put on a show? We do both!
In Sports Academy, campers can enjoy both a traditional day camp experience and an athletic skills camp all in one.
In Take the Stage, campers are immersed in creative activities in the arts (song, dance, and drama) and stagecraft, with a sprinkle of traditional camp too. Sessions end with the campers taking the stage in a gala performance.
