Summer Camp
4 to Kindergarten age (5.5 by September) Preschoolers
quickly notice the difference between their typical
school day and Day Camp. Choice within a flexible
structure best describes the program day. Certified
early childhood teachers and assistants are eager
to share exciting theme-based plans. Weekly plans
are posted for parents.
The daily A.C.T.ivity schedule includes sports, art, music,
storytelling, dance, gardening and water play in our playground and
water area. A visit to the "mist zone" is a welcome respite on hot
summer days when campers travel to "big A.C.T." for special
A.C.T.ivities. Assemblies and camp-wide events bring all A.C.T. camp
divisions together. Weekly themes unite and flavor the content of
each A.C.T.ivity period and event and culminate during division
assemblies and Theme Day.
 Campers are carefully supervised at all times as safety is our
first priority. The division coordinator and teachers ensure that
children receive the attention they richly deserve. Nature and
sports specialists and lawn game staff introduce campers to special
activities offered in different areas of the campus. Teachers, aids,
counselors and CIT's help campers experiment and feel successful
whether they make a scarecrow on the porch, run an obstacle course
on the playground, search for worms in our gardens, build ant dams
after a rain or create a fruit market. Long lasting friendships, new
games and songs, outdoor art and play in our own playground,
planting in our vegetable garden, participating in camp carnival
games, and following resident peacocks are a few samples of what
A.C.T. campers' experience.
Weekly plans are posted for parents. Mini-ACTers join one of
three age groups, with qualified early childhood teachers and
assistants eager to share their exciting plans. Under the direction
of the division coordinator, staff make up the a team of three
forming three unique age groups of eighteen campers.
AUGUST SESSION
Age requirement: 5.9
years old and going into kindergarten in September
A.C.T.ivities focus on athletic pursuits. Two counselors and
CIT's escort campers to artist guide campers to explore the
skills and coordination needed to succeed in traditional
sports such as soccer and T-ball. The popular traversing
climbing wall increases confidence and mastery of body motion
while exercise routines develop strength and endurance along
with life long habits. Strategic play reinforced through
cooperative games highlights the importance of team play.
Games played by campers are traditional ones that are modified
to increase practice time. Successful attempts rather than
final outcomes are the primary focus. Time-honored activities
such as rest-time, playground time, water games, snack and
lunch take place throughout the day.
