Shoot archery arrows, make jewelry, take a nature walk in the woods, launch a rocket, climb a rope ladder, catch a fish, play a game of soccer, and canoe in the Wissahickon Creek. This is just a glimpse of what you can do in our Traditional Day Camp program. Campers are divided into troops of 6-12 children. Adult leaders teach our specialty areas, including arts and crafts, archery, swimming lessons, field games, tennis, nature, canoeing, and challenge course. Every camper has an instructional swim period in our 25-yard indoor pool every morning and a well-rounded schedule of other camp activities. Each week at Day Camp, there is a new theme with culminating all-camp group activities in the afternoons. (Check our web site for this year’s calendar!) A typical afternoon includes a one-hour free choice period, when campers choose from several options ranging from quiet games to capture the flag. During the afternoon, children participate alongside campers from other troops, including campers enrolled in Afternoon Day Camp. A recreational swim period also occurs in the afternoon which includes use of the diving board for qualified swimmers. For children aged 6 to 12, entering grades 1-6.
This camp will be located at Gwynedd Mercy College. Click here for more information.
