Calling all happy campers!
Registration is now open for Summer 2025! Download our Summer 2025 Camp Guide to learn more.
This summer, campers ages 4-10 will have the opportunity to start their day in enrichment classes led by seasoned Bennett Day School faculty and some of our favorite local vendors. These classes, like Jewelry Making, Basketball Basics, Creative Writing, Slimy Science, and more, will engage campers in meaningful movement, creative problem-solving, scientific inquiry, and art exploration. When not in enrichment classes, campers will enjoy music, crafts, games, and outdoor play.
For students in rising 5th-9th Grade, we’re excited to offer a Counselor in Training (CIT) Program plus sports & specialty camps! In our CIT Program, students will develop their leadership skills, receive mentorship from Bennett Day Camp counselors, and learn how to facilitate games and engaging experiences for younger campers.
