Sanford Camps offers a full 10 week program June through August!
Our long established formula of
A DAY CAMP BY PARENTS FOR PARENTS
was founded by education and health professionals
who were the original ‘parents’ over 30 years ago.
REAL TEACHERS - REAL TREES - REAL BUGS
We have always had a professional nurse on staff and want to re-emphasize our Sanford Camps standard:
REAL HEALTH CARE with REAL NURSES

Our CIT (counselor in training) program is designed for high school students who are not old enough or ready to apply for a regular summer job. Each CIT will be placed with a counselor and function as a counselor’s helper. Here's the application link.
Our popular Kiddie Camp program in Hockessin is designed for 3 ½ to 5 year olds! Your little camper will be engaged throughout the day with an abundance of age appropriate enrichment programs that include classroom activities, playground activities and an introduction to swimming!
Sanford Day Camp is dedicated to offering a safe and fun-filled day summer camp experience for children from the age of 6 to 14. The ultimate goal of the day camp in Hockessin is to develop each camper to his or her fullest potential by offering a caring and structured environment supervised by an all teacher staff.
Sanford Day Camp's reputation as having
the best sports and specialty camps
in Hockessin comes from having top-name instructors and coaches.
This year we are running Volleyball, Soccer, Golf, Basketball, Tumbling and Mindful Movement camps.
Sanford’s Adventure Camp is designed for pre-teens and early teens going into the 7th, 8th, and 9th grades. Your middle schooler will automatically be put into this group if they are the proper age and grade, so you don’t have to request this designation. It is a coed group that enjoys additional privileges due to their age and maturity. The counselors are usually middle school or high school teachers. This group does not have to attend morning line-up, has a special activity room separate from the other campers, has their own space for lunch and takes additional field trips and activities which are designed for older campers. So, if your child feels that he or she is “too old” for day camp, hopefully they will give the adventure camp a try.
These activity schedules are representative of what Adventure Campers enjoy at Sanford Day Camps.
