SAVE TIME! PLEASE READ PRIOR TO REGISTERING

The ten-week 2024 season runs from  Monday, June 10th through Friday, August 16th. The camp day begins at 8:45  a.m. and ends 3:15 p.m. Registration can be for one week or several or the full season. The weeks of attendance do not have to be consecutive.

We understand the needs of working parents so we  also offer extended day care  at two locations for an additional fee.

Camp will be closed on Thursday, July 4th for the holiday - tuition is not pro-rated for that week.

Camp lunch  can be purchased by the week only. Even after you register, you can still add this option. Many children bring their lunch from  home, but either way, we provide a drink and dessert. We like to be advised of any dietary allergies, but we do not have a special menu to offer, so packing a lunch is necessary in those cases. NUT FREE CAMPUS!

We have two half day sports/specialty camps and you can add a half day of  day camp if you want to keep your child on campus for the full day; as well as adding extended care and lunch. We also offer adding a half day of camp to any child attending Sanford School's Summer Enrichment program (proof of registration at the school is required to qualify).

Once you register through our online system, you can access your account  anytime. Through this  system we keep in touch with email reminders such as what to  bring for camp, or to announce field trips.

A well trained brain allows us to manage emotions, time and relationships.

The students will learn how their brain works and what they can do to manage the volatility of their constantly changing world. They will finish the week with a tool box filled with the skills and strategies needed for a successful start to the new school year.
