Chestnut Hill School: Creative Arts and Sports Senior Camp Recently Updated

Fun and enrichment is the main focus of this division and is fostered through on-site electives, adventure trips, and group events/performances. While on campus, senior campers select from a diverse range of sports, art, music and theater experiences. 

Senior Camp

This program is designed specifically for young teenagers, with a focus on leadership, peer collaboration, and skill development. Senior campers enjoy bonding with peers as they select and engage in common interest activities and by partaking in our off-site excursions. Field trips are scheduled 2-3 times per week; tuition includes all trip transportation and admission costs.

Each summer our field trip destinations change to ensure new experiences for all our returning senior campers; see link below. On-site class electives may include gaga, swimming, basketball, archery, painting, cooking, poetry, wheel working, rock band, tennis, and more. Senior campers have the option of continuing with their initial selections for the full session (two weeks) or changing them each week. Activity choices are sent to campers and families prior to each session.

Senior camp off-site programs/trips such as Boda Borg, zip-lining, indoor skydiving, and beaches, provide a unique opportunity for our campers to learn new skills, collaborate with peers, and to model leadership. Each trip destination is selected with careful attention to high safety standards (staff training, certified personnel, staff background checks, and approved safety equipment).

Senior Camp enrollment is limited to 25 campers per session. The senior camp group is led by our senior camp director and three adult counselors. We provide a 7-to-1 camper-to-staff ratio on all trips, along with a certified lifeguard on all beach trips. Beaches are selected for their cleanliness, ample facilities, medical station, and their own on-duty lifeguards.
