Summer’s Edge Day Camp est. 1991

A Typical Day at Camp

Morning Announcements and group attendance for the Summer’s Edge Community began at 9:00 am followed by the first scheduled group activity.  At 10:00 a.m. a short break is scheduled for “snack and friendly chatter.”  The three additional morning periods include two scheduled activities and Red Cross Swimming Lessons.  Summer’s Edge offer a variety of activities in the morning schedule which gives each camper the opportunity to try every activity in camp.  The staff encourages campers to fully participate in the morning schedule with their group. Morning periods are approximately 35 minutes in length.  The entire camp breaks for lunch and relaxation time at 12:15 p.m in Minuteman’s air-conditioned cafeteria.  Campers bring their own snack and lunch to camp each day; refrigeration is available.

Summer’s Edge Day Camp believes in offering campers group activities as well as  individual choices.  The afternoon schedule includes free choice activity periods and one free swim period.  The afternoon periods are approximately 40 minutes in length.   The Summer’s Edge Camp community convenes for End of the Day Announcements, and campers are dismissed to their respective parent(s)/guardian(s) at 3:30 p.m.

Extended Day Services

Extended day services are available for an additional cost.  Enrolled extended day campers may arrive at 7:45 am and are greeted by two staff members for board games, card games, and basic crafts.  When the camp day concludes at 3:30 pm, enrolled extended day campers are escorted by two staff members to the locker rooms for washing their hands and then to snack time.  Snack, lemonade, and water are provided for the extended day campers.  After snack and a recap of the camp day, a physical activity ensues, followed by a craft or a variety of quiet games.  The service concludes daily at 5:30 pm.
