Extended Day

We have Extended Day for children needing care before and/or after the summer programs each day. Monday thru Friday.

Campers have activities indoors in air-conditioned buildings and outdoors. Extended day is supervised  by adult leaders with college/high school assistants (1-8 ratio).

There are planned activities organized daily. The fee for extended day is a separate charge from the camp/workshop fee.

You may add Extended Day at any time with at least ONE WEEK NOTICE. Please note that there will be a $5 late fee assessed for EVERY 5 MINUTES beyond the registered Extended Day period. If you do not pay on site, you will be billed. We need to respect our staff. Thank you!

There are four plans to choose from:

Early morning (8am drop off):	$18 per week
Extended afternoon (4pm pickup):	$20 per week
Extended afternoon (5:30pm pickup):	$55 per week
AM and PM Extended  (8am drop off and 5:30pm pickup):	$65 per week

What do we do in Extended Day??

MORNING SCENARIO:

Each group has a sign-in sheet with a roster for that week.  Please sign in and out! 

Ages 6-8 meet in the Lower School area, since this is where their workshops and Kidspace will
meet. 

Ages 8-13 meet in the Gym area. 

Morning means everyone comes in at different time...so the activities are more low
key with card games, board games, or coloring, LEGOS, and toys (for the younger set).

TIME FOR CAMP:

At 8:55, we help escort the children to their various camps or workshops.  The campers are escorted by the Extended Day morning staff.  Our morning staff includes college and high school age assistants as well as one adult leader. 

AFTERNOON SCENARIO:

Ages 6-8 meet in the Lower School. They can play indoors or outdoors with supervision...

• Outdoors there are basketball courts, soccer fields, areas to hang out in the sand pile, slides and swings;
• Indoor activities may involve dancing to music, reading (and being read to), board games and some craft activities. 

There is a snack at 4:15 for those campers staying on until 5:30 and usually that is when a story is read to them.

We try to make our Extended Day activities fun and interesting!  Sometimes at the end of
the day, just being with a counselor and a small group of friends is sufficient, especially
when we have our super-hot humid days.  So just relaxing and reading books or playing
board games is fun, giving the campers a chance to socialize. 

Ages 8-13 meet in the gym area. There are many spaces for campers to play...

• The foyer for games, craft activities, foosball, and reading
• Outside front for four square and water games; outside back: soccer field for running or playing frisbee;Inside gym for basketball, games, and other indoor activities;
• Plus we have a wooded area for playing Capture the Flag (camp favorite).  

Snack is served at 4:15 - 4:30 which is always the big event of the afternoon.  We serve macaroni and cheese (homemade), popcorn (freshly popped), cookies, quesadillas, cheese and crackers, watermelon, bagels and cream cheese, peanut butter and apples or crackers (yes, we watch out for our peanut allergies), fruit in season, and also we have the cooking classes make a snack for the group (that's always a hit!).   Most of the campers spend their time in our big air-conditioned gym playing group games like Spider Ball. 

Our afternoon staff consists of one adult leader for each group and several college and/or high school age assistants (with lots of stamina).
