What distinguishes Park Camps? The people. Our lead instructors, counselors, and lifeguards are almost entirely Park faculty, employees, current Park students, young alumni, and recent college graduates who are aspiring educators. 

The center of Park’s program is our day camp for Cubs (ages 3.5-5), Bears (ages 6-7), and Bruins (ages 8-10). The day camp includes specialty workshops in the visual arts, music, athletics, and outdoors, along with a daily trip to the pool. This year, campers will also get to participate in team-building activities on our challenge course. One of the core values of Park Camps is choice, as campers have ample time within their dens to choose between indoor and outdoor activities that align with their interests.

In Summer 2024, Park is excited to launch two new programs, the first of which provides families with something they often need: camp that starts the first day after school ends! From June 11-14 and June 17-21, Park has you covered with School’s Out Sports Camp, a camp that showcases Park’s robust athletics and physical education programs. The camp is for both recreational and competitive athletes, as they will be grouped by both age and interest to ensure that the coaches can tailor the experience to each specific group. 

Finally, Park is introducing Specialty Camps for students ages 10-13, aging up the day camp model to meet the needs of older campers. The “hands on, minds on” camps provide project-based experiences in a wide range of disciplines, ensuring that campers can fully immerse themselves in topics that interest them. Park is offering three different morning and afternoon options each week, and campers choose their sessions based on their passions and interests. This new program is fully-staffed by Park faculty and also includes a daily trip to the pool and challenge course. 

Come join us at Park this summer! Registration is open and includes discounts for siblings and new campers.
