Led by experienced Churchill School educators, with the assistance of Churchill's high school students and alums, our camp offers an engaging blend of activities from arts and sports to STEM exploration, fostering learning and fun. For those seeking educational enrichment, our literacy offerings provide valuable learning experiences.
Expert-led and thoughtfully structured, our camp days feature a range of rotating activities with options like sports and arts and, if possible, refreshing swim time! Theme weeks and special events like Halloween at Camp, Crazy Hat Day, and Camp Olympics infuse excitement, creating an unforgettable summer of exploration and enjoyment.
A Day at Camp
The day starts off with arrival beginning at 8:00 a.m., followed by a spirited morning assembly. After, campers go off to enjoy a variety of activities designed to spark curiosity, such as sports, arts and crafts, yoga, STEM, trips to the parks, and more. Their days are enriched with Reading Comprehension and Decoding lessons, creating a well-balanced schedule filled with moments of learning and play.
We kindly ask that campers be dropped off and picked up, as we will not be providing transportation this year. For added convenience, an early arrival option is available at an extra cost. Campers will be ready to be picked up by 4:00 p.m., concluding their day of activities and fun.
