How are campers grouped?
Because this is our first summer in Westchester, it is likely that our program will be small. We will have mixed age groups for choice time, playground and lunch, like an old fashioned one room school house! Meetings, story and quiet time will be separated by age (3/4s and 5-7s) to provide developmentally appropriate experiences for the children.
Do you accept kids for early drop off?
We do not currently have an early drop-off program.
What should my child bring?
Please send your child with: a change of clothes in a labeled gallon freezer bag that will stay at camp, a water bottle, sunscreen on each day (we will reapply as needed), and a packed lunch and a snack each day. This year your child should also bring 2 masks every day.
My young child is still napping at school. Is there an opportunity for a nap?
We will have down time after lunch for campers to take a rest.
