A Summer Filled with ChoicesBring your children to our beautiful wooded campus where their summer days will be filled with fun and adventure. They will exercise their bodies and their minds. Your children will choose from many enriching and fun activities, stretching their imaginations and making new friends in our safe, caring environment. Join us at SRV Summer Camp where summer is filled with choices, laughter and creativity. We have four programs suited for children from 3 to 14 years old. Children are grouped by age, mixing boys and girls who are within a few years of each other. Each group has their own counselors and "home base." Every child has swimming lessons daily. We have weekly themes and celebrate together. We serve healthful snacks in the morning and popsicles in the afternoon. Families join us for potluck suppers and variety shows. There is a ‘campover’ planned for the older campers (usually children going into 5th grade and up). Camp runs for 7 weeks starting June 18. Campers can come for a week, or all 7. The eighth week (August 6 - 10) is our less structured "Free to Be" week for children older than preschool and tuition for this week must be included with the application. Campers must be toilet trained. Our days begin at 8:30 and end at 3:30. Extended care, beginning at 7:30 am and ending at 6 pm, is available for an additional charge. Children bring their lunches. We serve morning and afternoon snacks and have beverages available at lunch time. We are not able to provide transportation. Parents are welcome to visit us at camp at any time. At SRV Summer Camp your children design their summer days choosing from a wide variety of activities led by our superb staff of teachers, professionals, college students and talented high school students. ART – The children experience and experiment with many 2 and 3 dimensional mediums and materials. We work with clay and have potters' wheels and a kiln. SPORTS & GAMES – Non-competitive games that build group spirit are offered as well as traditional sports such as archery, kickball, soccer and softball. DANCE & GYMNASTICS – Our dance instructor offers classes in ballet, jazz, tap, hip-hop and other forms of movement, as well as basic gymnastics. NATURE – Children explore and experience nature on our 8½ acre wooded campus and the adjacent wildlife preserve; hiking through the woods, creek-walking, building a dam, bird walks and insect studies are a few of the choices in nature. WOODSHOP – Children receive instruction in the use of hand tools and create many wonderful things of their own design and imagination. DRAMA & MUSIC – Children write and act out their own plays, put on variety shows and learn to use simple instruments. Actors from HEDGEROW THEATRE offer weekly workshops and activities. SWIMMING – The children swim every day in our new swimming complex with our talented and fun pool staff. They have daily swim lessons, and there is also time for fun and games at the pools. GENERAL – Our general counselors offer the children arts and crafts, gardening, hiking, exploring, cooking, board games, computers, free play, and more.
