Day Camp<\/h1><\/div><\/section>\n\n

Day Camp Program<\/h2>

PK to 1st Grade<\/h3>\n

Designed by a team of experienced Waterford School educators, Day Camp is an all-day multi-sensory program, where campers experience the outdoors daily, learn through STEM, music, dance, art, sports, swimming, field trips, and carefully conceived, self-directed play. The activities of each week are tied to an exciting theme, are led by experienced teachers, and are assisted by enthusiastic high school and college age camp counselors. The more academic lessons happen in the mornings, with camper’s choice activites in the afternoons. This summer there are two levels of Day Camp : Wildebeests and Warthogs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n
