• What happens if my child can’t swim?

  In our Day Camp, we offer instructional swim. Each Monday, every camper will perform a swim test to determine their abilities in the water and be placed in the appropriate group. With that said, if your day camper cannot swim, they will be placed in our learn-to-swim group and begin their swim journey!

•  Do you cater to specific dietary needs?

  Yes, to an extent. We have a variety of choices every day that will include a gluten-free option and a vegetarian option. We DO NOT cater to Kosher needs, unfortunately. You will receive the menu before camp starts so you can go over the options with your camper(s).

  Yes, we offer “PlayHouse90” after camp that runs until 6:00 pm Monday through Friday. You can register for this weekly or daily. Find more information here.

• What happens if I have two registered campers in different camps with different end times?

  We offer complimentary sibling care if you have two children enrolled with different end times. The camper with the earlier end time would go to PlayHouse90 until their sibling is done, where they then would join their sibling for pick-up. An email will be sent asking if you would like to take advantage of this service.

• Can I spend time with my child at camp?

  No. Summer Camp is for your kids. They thrive best when they are with their peers and counselors. Parents will be invited to our Day Camp show and any other special events that we may host, but once your child is dropped off, it is their time to thrive without parents.
