Summer Camp Program Update

UPDATE (as of 05.14.2020) We have determined that it would be in our best interest to cancel all camps from June 8th through July 3rd. Additionally, we will not be accepting new registrations as this time and we will likely have to reduce our current registration numbers as we work to implement appropriate safety protocols to hold an in-person camp (tentatively scheduled to start the week of July 6th). Current camp families have been contacted about this update as well as our refund process. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please send a message to scfriendscamp@gmail.com and we will be in touch with you as soon as we can. Thank you for your understanding and be well.

Please see below for more  information on our 2020 Kids Camp program.

Kids Camps run Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. through 3:30 p.m. unless otherwise noted.  Optional After Camp care will be available daily from 3:30-5:30 p.m. at a rate of $6/day (after camp care will be invoiced twice during the summer). One field trip and one pool day are scheduled each week (weather permitting).  Please visit our main summer camp page for more information on our summer camp program and how to register.
