TOP FIVE ACTIVITIES YOUR CHILD WILL LOVE AT SUMMER DAY CAMP

With the myriad of fun-filled activities at summer day camp, most kids would probably have a tough time picking one favorite.

Swimming, boating, playing games and whipping up colorful pieces of art are among the many ways kids spend happy hours at camp.

SWIMMING

Summer is hot, and kids at day camp look forward to any kind of swimming, from lessons to free-form playing in the pool or lake.

Whether your child is a beginning swimmer or working on gaining a competitive edge, summer day camp swimming lessons offer …

… an incredible opportunity to learn new skills, perfect existing strokes and gain increased self confidence in the process.

Camps usually teach swimming in a pool, often heated, as it provides a much more comfortable environment for learning.

If your child’s camp is on a lake, lessons may be off a dock in a roped-off area.

Either way, free swim in the lake is one of the highlights of the day, with plenty of water games, friendly races and happy laughter.

GAMES & SPORTS

From GaGa ball to dodge ball and tag, group games are a fun-filled highlight of day camp.

Summer camp games and sports range from tradition athletic endeavors like soccer, softball, basketball and baseball to beloved camp games like relay races and water balloon battles.

Well-trained camp counselors make sure everyone gets a chance to play and that every child is appreciated for his or her contribution to the game.

Kids of all ages and abilities learn how to play together, support each other and work as a team, building sportsmanship, self-esteem and a sense of fair play.

ARTS & CRAFTS

From tie-die T-shirts to nature collages, friendship bracelets, sand candles and wind chimes, day camp arts and crafts programs let kids relax and indulge their creative urges.

Youngsters love making custom camp shirts and hats, which become beloved wearable memories of days at camp.

Whether painting, wood working, pottery-making or baking ceramics, day camp arts and crafts are designed to nurture the artist in each child.

Camp art programs range from making splashy collages at a picnic table to learning advanced skills in high-end woodworking shops and pottery studios.

BOATING

Everyone loves to get out on the water, and summer day camp is full of opportunities for kids to learn water safety basics and boating skills.

Whether your youngster has never set foot in a boat or is an expert sailor, water-skier or windsurfer …

… days at camp offer hours of time to learn new skills and discover new ways to enjoy the water.

Camp boating activities encompass a wide range of activities, including kayaking, sailing, canoeing, water-skiing, jet skiing and kayaking.

Safety is always a number-one priority along the waterfront, and your child will be well-supervised by counselors proficient in water safety.

SKITS

Kids love comedy, and being a part of a camp theatrical production is an amazing and confidence-building opportunity for youngsters.

Whether acting in a funny skit, writing dialogue, playing an instrument or singing in a campy chorus …

… skits and plays provide valuable and fun ways for kids to get creative and gain increased self-confidence.

Everyone is encouraged, applauded and appreciated, making skit participation a valuable part of the day camp experience.

In fact, many of today’s performing arts stars were bitten by the acting – or singing or writing – bug at summer camp.
