Additional information
The goal of Adventure Day Camp (ADC) is to provide a dynamic, engaging, and educational experience that allows children to stretch beyond their current boundaries and develop their leadership potential. Each year our program theme provides the framework for camp activities including: studio art, cooking, movement, performance art, dance, and engineering. We also take trips to area farms, nature center, state parks, and:
- Beaches every Thursday
- Swim lessons on Friday mornings
- Tennis lessons (older campers) on Wednesday afternoons
- Free swim on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday afternoons
- Art, cooking, sports, and science activities
Daily transportation, breakfast, lunch, and snack are included in the price of camp. All camp tuitions are subsidized thanks to the generosity of many individuals and foundations and determined on a sliding fee scale that offers up to 90% discounts on the cost of camp. CADC will be offering fun, engaging, COVID safe activities, and adjusting according the public health guidelines.
Our LOWER CAMP serves children who are 5, 6, 7, or 8 years old. These campers rotate through programming activities designed to increase their social competency and scaffold learning across content areas. Their schedule provides for a developmentally appropriate balance of structured activities, rest, and play. Our UPPER CAMP serves children who are 9, 10, or 11 years old. These campers are given a menu of programming choices from which to choose their activities. The administration works to create a schedule that balances individual camper interests with a well-rounded experience that maximizes opportunity for these children to develop new skills
