• Camp FAQs

  Should you have any further questions about our summer programs, please review our Frequently Asked Questions.

• Drop Off & Pick Up

  Generally, drop-off is from 8:30-9am, and pick-up is from 3:30-4pm. Half day pick-up and drop-off are usually between 12:30-12:45pm. Please look out for more information regarding the logistics and details of pick-up and drop-off closer to camp. 

  
  

  Please be aware that pick-up and drop-off is a very busy time. Expect a line of traffic in and out of our campus, and ensure you have read our logistics memo to better prepare yourself for this part of the day. 

  
  

  Please also come prepared with a valid ID, as we will check for authorized pick up on the first few days of camp, until we recognize faces. Please ensure to update your “authorized pick up” list well in advance of the first day of camp so that you camper has a smooth pick-up experience. 

• Extended Care

  Morning Extended Care is free of charge and starts at 8AM. While we do not charge a fee for early drop-off, we do ask that you check off this “add on” option during registration so that we can take account of how many campers to expect in the mornings for our staffing planning purposes.
  
  

  Afternoon Extended Care is an additional cost that you can “add on” as an option during registration. Extended care is staffed by seasoned camp counselors who engage with campers through a menu of choice activities: arts and crafts, games, and outdoor equipment. Afternoon Extended Care is from 3:30-5:30pm.

  
  

  Please make every effort to arrive by 5:30 pm. We recognize that there are times when unavoidable challenges arise, and therefore, our policy is that after one occurrence of lateness, a $1.00 per minute penalty will be incurred. The staff will notify you at the time of pickup, and the fee will be charged to you.  The Summer Programs Director will follow-up with the collection of this fee (that goes directly to the staff that must work overtime). If not paid immediately, a $5.00 processing fee will be billed to your account in addition to your late fee.
  
  Session 1: $190 per camper
  Session 2: $210 per camper
  Session 3: $210 per camper

  
  

  Any camper who has not been picked up will be directed to Extended Care. Please be aware that on the last day of camp for Session 3 we will not offer Extended Care. We will close at 3:45 PM.

• Meals

  We work with the Epicurean Group to provide healthy, fresh foods for all of our students throughout the year and in the summer (cost for lunch and snack included in camp fees). Our talented kitchen staff are very adept at accommodating children’s dietary needs, including vegan, gluten-free, dairy free–so please be sure to inform the Athenian Summer Team about your child’s food restrictions.
  
  If you’d like your child to participate in the breakfast program we charge $72 per camper per for Session 1, and $80 per camper for Session 2 and 3.

• Swim Lessons

  Athenian Summer Aquatics Program provides eight 20-minute lessons in a session (Monday – Thursday) for campers 4-years-old and up. Our program is designed for children at all swim levels, based on the American Red Cross “Learn to Swim” curriculum. Little swimmers will discover how to fully submerge their face and blow bubbles and experience supported floating and kicking on front and back. More advanced swimmers will begin to learn alternating arm action, swimming under water, rhythmic breathing, and the major strokes. For swimmers ready for even more advanced techniques, a program can be adapted to meet your swimmers individual needs.
  
  

  On the first day of camp your camper will be in the pool for a swim assessment to determine current swim level and goals for the end of camp. We follow aquatics safety procedures determined by the American Red Cross and have certified Lifeguards on deck at all times when campers are inside the pool gates.
  
  

  Swim lessons are included in all Full day Trail Blazers Camp registrations. 
  
  *Note: Make up swim lessons are not provided if you are unable to attend camp.
  
  "Add On" Swim Lessons:
  Session 1: $165
  Session 2: $188
  Session 3: $188
  
  Private Swim Lessons:
  Session 1: $205
