LOWER CAMP-For Campers ages 3 years old – entering Kindergarten, our Lower Camp is the ideal first summer camp experience. Housed in our Primary School building, the warm home-like environment makes children feel comfortable from the moment they step inside the classroom doors.
UPPER CAMP-Each week, a special theme guides much of the fun. We have had visitors of all kinds ranging from a dog trainer and his trick dogs, to yo-yo entertainers, to scientists from the Museum of Science. However, most of the fun comes directly from the campers who put on Talent Shows, organize camp-wide Olympics, treasure hunts, and crazy contests of all kinds! Make sure to check out the theme calendar and register for the weeks that your camper would love the most.
SPORTS CAMP-While some camps focus on honing athletic skills in only one sport, our campers enjoy a number of different athletic games and activities throughout each week. DCD Sports Camp introduces campers to a variety of sports including baseball/softball, basketball, soccer, field/floor hockey, flag football, and an assortment of group games. Motor skills, teamwork, and sportsmanship will be taught through skill repetition, drills, and game-like situations in a fun and challenging program.
LEADER IN TRAINING-LITs will use their skills to help support DCDC staff and interact with children in our Day Camp. They will be rotated among camper groups and specialty areas every week during the summer to experience the different aspects of camp. The LITs will be carefully placed in the area where we feel they will be most successful. They are supervised by our Camp Director and Assistant Directors. The Directors works closely with each of the LITs to provide supervision and training.
COUNSELOR IN TRAINING (CIT)-A 2-week minimum is suggested. Choose any 2 weeks; they do not need to be consecutive. CIT’s are assigned to a camp group and will assist the head counselors in a variety of capacities. CIT’s are supervised by the Assistant Director of the Camp and participate in weekly meetings to discuss topics and receive feedback. In addition, CIT’s receive training and certification in First Aid and CPR. CIT’s are evaluated by the Assistant Director.
