WELCOME TO HIGHLANDS SUMMER CAMP

Highlands School’s Higher Degree of Learning does not end when the school year is over. We
offer a quality summer program as well. Highlands summer camp offers challenging activities,
talented teachers and great variety that you have come to expect from Highlands School.
Camp is open to all students entering Kindergarten through the 8th grade, regardless of the
school they attend during the school year.
At Highlands, we offer unique opportunities, some specifically tailored to your child’s age
group. We strive to offer camps and activities that will enable your child to continue to learn
while having a great time! Our Enrichment Camps include active, artistic, academic and just
plain fun choices. Be sure to note that we offer morning sessions, some afternoon sessions and
some full day camps! As always we have some new camps as well. We have definitely added
more academic camps this year. See page 3! We also offer Traditional Day Camp in the
afternoons for Kindergarten through 6th grade that includes a hot lunch, weekly themes, trips
to the pool, outdoor play time, some guest speakers, activities and exciting, creative projects.
This afternoon day camp pairs well with a morning Enrichment Camp for full day care. This
year we are offering a “Full Day Traditional Day Camp” during our short week, June 29-July 2
from 9am-4pm. Please look through the catalog for camp descriptions, ages, costs and dates.

Traditional Day Camp
Offered each week of camp, our Traditional
Day Camp is
tailored for Kindergarten through 6th graders. This half day weekly
camp runs from 12pm until 4pm and includes lunch, weekly trips to
the pool, and special activities and crafts based on a weekly theme.
We also may go on a special field trip or have special guests on
campus. Don’t worry, we save plenty of time for outdoor free play
and games. These camps are supervised and instructed by
Highlands summer camp counselors. If you need full day care, you
may choose a morning Enrichment Camp followed by the afternoon
Traditional Day Camp. On the week of June 29-July 2, we will offer
a full-day traditional day camp for this four day week. We also have
morning (7:15am-9am) and afternoon (4pm-6pm) extended care.
Some past themes have been Beach Party, Magic of Science and
Music!
Swimming
Please
Traditional Day campers will be swimming two days a week at the Mountain
Pack An
Brook YMCA. Campers enrolled in Traditional Day camp will need to bring a
Afternoon
swimsuit, towel, pool shoes and their own sunscreen each Tuesday and Thursday.
Snack!
It is helpful for them to have sunscreen on prior to coming to camp. At the
beginning of each week, campers will have the opportunity to take a swim test at
the pool. If they pass, they may go in the deep end and are not required to wear a life jacket. If they do not
pass, are too young to take the test, or the parent just prefers, they will be required to wear a life jacket and
stay at the shallow end of the pool. Campers may choose to bring their own life jackets. This is especially
encouraged if your camper is small. Campers will be supervised by Highlands counselors as well as
YMCA lifeguards. Campers are transported by the Highlands school bus which is a small, shuttle-type bus
with seatbelts.
