Camp in Action
Swimming comes first - so everyone in the water !
At Purchase Day Camp swimming progress is important, so
each camper has a daily lesson and a second free swim to try out those
new aquatic skills.
Our large staff of American Red Cross water safety instructors,
as well as lifeguards and counselors keep close eyes on every camper
as well as daily records of individual progress.
As campers successfully complete individual swim levels,
they receive certificates. American Red Cross swim cards are awarded
at season's end.
Sports are next - so everyone up on your feet !
Our fields, courts and other play spaces host all those
great games you see listed above.
We emphasize basic skills like running, hitting, throwing
and catching - all in a depressurized, supportive atmosphere for both
younger and older campers.
Everything is age-appropriate, from instruction to equipment.
Campers 2nd grade and older try out our 12 element Challenge
Course.
Each week during the camp season, a different sport is
featured during sports activities. The 2009 featured sports, in order,
were soccer, baseball, lacrosse, basketball, football, volleyball, and
hockey. Read about our Sports Activity Leaders here.
Now add enrichment - so everyone get creative !
With an emphasis on self-pride with newly learned skills,
we provide a wide variety of activities to stimulate curiosity and natural
talents.
Campers love bringing home the treasures they make and
performing in several different settings.
