Summer Play Camp at Blue Rock School Open House
Open house for Summer Play Camp at Blue Rock School
Parents and their children, ages 3 ½ to 12, are invited to visit our beautiful, four-acre campus, including the Arts & Nature Studies Annex Sunday April 17, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. Come meet the Summer Play Camp Director and hear all about Blue Rock's unique and adventure-filled summer program. Fun activities are planned for the children and refreshments will be served. Please reserve your space by calling 845-627-0234 or email at summerplaycamp@bluerockschool.org. Early camp registration discounts are available.
Summer Play Camp is a fun and enriching place for your child to spend summer days engaging in a variety of hands-on, creative and playful activities that take place both in the classrooms of Blue Rock School's 18th-century stone farmhouse, the Arts & Nature Studies Annex, and outdoors on the school’s serene wooded property. Playgrounds abound and there are enough magical play spaces for the most vivid imaginations. It is an enchanting place where children can build fairy houses, learn to play the ukulele, make pickles, and snuggle with a floppy eared bunny.
Every day is a new and exciting adventure, teeming with possibilities. Children start out in small, same-age groups with a group leader who accompanies and guides the children through a variety of themed stations throughout their day which include: Art, Music & Movement, Swimming, Nature & Science, Woodworking, Drama, Origami, Gardening, Baking & Preserving, Sewing, Games and Water Play. New this year, Summer Play will be offering week-long Soccer, Basketball and T-Ball clinics. Children in the older groups are also eligible to choose our Excursion Option one day each week. These day-long excursions are a special opportunity for sharing unique experiences and forming lasting friendships. Veteran environmental educators and hikers lead the children on a variety of walks on hiking trails, in local parks, and near lakes & rivers. Space is limited so that students may explore activities more intimately and extensively.
The program is specially designed for children ages 3 ½ through 12. By allowing children the time to explore, collaborate, connect with the natural world, express themselves creatively, and play, each day is a journey of self discovery. Summer Play Camp also offers a CIT program for children ages 13 and older. Tuition is highly affordable, and each summer, the program typically draws over half of its campers from other area schools, both public and private, and from the home-schooled community as well.
