Changes have been made for the 2025 camp year. Please read all updates before visiting our registration site. Pricing Information, additional forms and links are located at the bottom of this page.
As we kick off 2025, we’re thrilled to share some exciting updates for our upcoming summer day camps! After reflecting on last season and working hard to enhance every aspect of the camp experience, we’re ready to offer a fantastic summer for your children. Here’s what’s new:
Enhanced Daily Programming
This year, we’ve enhanced our programming by introducing teamwork activities and games to boost children’s self-esteem, deductive reasoning, and conflict-resolution skills. We’ve added reading sessions after lunch to support learning retention, and expanded our offerings with cooking, science activities for math skills, and creative crafts and music to foster imagination. Additionally, we will have more walking field trips around the Crete area for new adventures!
Camp Structure
This summer, camp will be divided into two 4-week sessions. You’ll still enjoy the flexibility you love by selecting the number of days your child will attend— choose from 8, 12, 16, or 20 days per session. Here’s the breakdown:
- Session 1: June 9 – July 11 (No camp the week of June 30 – July 4) Registration for this session is closed
- Session 2: July 14 – August 8
