High Meadow School is excited to provide another year of high-quality summer camp programming for kids entering pre-K through kids entering ninth grade who live in or are visiting the Hudson Valley region.
The camp day runs from 8:45 AM - 3:00 PM Monday through Friday with the option of staying for aftercare until 4:15 PM. Students will be grouped by grades and will have at least one lead counselor and one assistant counselor or Counselor in Training (CIT) assigned to their cohort for an entire session.
High Meadow staffs a certified nurse for every camp session to attend to students’ medical needs while at summer camp.
RECREATIONAL CAMPS
Campers engage in arts, nature, and play-based summer activities on our wooded 9-acre school campus. Our camp programming is reflective of High Meadow School’s core progressive mission of providing developmentally appropriate learning experiences that spark wonder, attend to children’s social and emotional needs, and provide campers opportunities to cultivate and exercise their unique voice.
-
Each session’s activities are based around a common theme and provide children with unique specialized experiences for each week they attend camp.
-
Children are grouped in age-level cohorts with a consistent lead counselor, assistant counselor, and counselor in training that they stay with for all days in that week of camp. With their counselors, children participate in morning circles, crafts, water activities, experiments, reading, and play.
-
Across the week, students participate in activities with visual arts, movement, music, and science specialists in our school’s studio spaces. We also invite special guests to present theme-based activities that coincide with each camp week.
-
Every Friday afternoon, campers end the session with a culmination of their experiences throughout the week.
Requirements: Campers must be entering Pre-K and fully potty trained by the beginning of the camp season to attend Summer Camp @ High Meadow.
