Daily Life at Summer Day Camp

Below are sample schedules for day camp. These tables are for frame of reference to give parents an idea of the format of our camp. The schedule may change depending on the activities and themes planned by each group’s leaders. Excursion days will follow a different schedule, which is to be determined on a case-by-case basis. See Summer Day Camp staff for updates regarding excursion schedules.

• Camper to counselor ratio is 10:1 or less.
• Campers are assigned to a group for that day, and each group will have 1 counselor and 1+ Jr. Counselors.
