The Caedmon School Discovery Camp is a trip-themed program dedicated to discovering the many wonders in and around the five boroughs of New York. Sessions are available from June 25 through August 3 Our facility is right in the middle of the greatest city in the world, and we will take full advantage of the many attractions available to entice, engage, and expand the horizons of naturally curious children. From the top of Manhattan’s Empire State Building to the depths of Coney Island’s Aquarium, from the Bronx Zoo to the Queens Hall of Science, our groups will participate in age-appropriate trips and activities, guided by experienced Caedmon teachers and other talented specialists. The groups are divided by age, which determines the number of trips, and the type of programs offered each week. All trips take place Mondays through Thursdays, with Fridays reserved for an in-house all-camp event. Ages 2.9-3: Our hopping, happy “Staten Island Frogs” is our half-day group. They will have a once-weekly, in-house special activity and participate in Special Event Fridays. Age 4: – Our fun-loving, eager “Brooklyn Beavers.” This group will have weekly special activities and go on one trip at the end of the summer. Age 5: – Our swinging, spunky “Manhattan Monkeys.” This group will go on one trip a week. Age 6 – 7: Our curious, busy “Bronx Bees.” This, larger group, will be divided into Junior Bees, age 6, and Senior Bees, age 7. These groups will take two trips per week. Ages 8 – 12: Our quizzical, adventurous “Queens Penguins.” This, our largest group, will be divided into Junior Penguins, ages 8-9, and Senior Penguins, ages 10-12. These groups will go on three trips each week. When campers are not on a trip, they will have a full complement of fun activities in Caedmon’s four-story building. Highly skilled counselors will guide them in swimming, arts and crafts, cooking, dance and movement, yoga, music, science, tennis, computers, and, of course, sports and games in the gym and outdoor courtyard. The three youngest groups will also have waterplay 2-3 times a week.
