Upper Camp

General CampGrades 3-4

Upper Camp

More activities + greater choice = tremendous fun.

One thing is for sure: Your child definitely has an emerging personality all their own. And, in Upper Camp, we do everything we can to make it shine. That’s why we continue to offer 3rd and 4th graders the camaraderie and support found in a group setting, while also giving them more of the individualized choices that spark their curiosity. In the morning, your child will choose from 3 or more options per period and participate in them with kids their own age. The afternoon presents an opportunity for your child to pick from three different activities to focus on throughout the week. These “electives” give your child additional time to complete an art project or move onto the finals of the big tournament, and further a whole range of new and confidence-fueling skills.
