Our campers may also extend their days with early care from 8am to 9am and/or later afternoons from 3pm to 5pm. For those who choose a full day until 3pm, campers will have a quiet rest time, followed by free-swim in our pool and a variety of afternoon activities such as Investigate!, Seeds & Weeds, and Young Chefs.  Our Lower Campers also have the opportunity to sign-up for Semi-Private Tennis Lessons which take place on Fridays and are offered exclusively to this age group. Private Red Cross swimming lessons are available and our Music Together program is a great experience for our Lower Campers.

Brewster Recreation Afternoon Program (Entering 1st to 5th Grade)

This special Afternoon Program, runs from 12pm to 3pm each day during our Core Program (Sessions 1-4) and is for those campers who attend the camp mornings at the Brewster Recreation Center. They are transported by school bus from the Rec Center to our location. Here they have lunch, choose from the afternoon electives, and enjoy our special field trips. Children in this program may also order lunch, sign-up for Private Tennis, Swimming Lessons or Extended Care from 3 to 5pm.

Leader-in-Training (Entering 6th to 8th Grade) and Counselor-in-Training (Entering 9th to 11th Grade) Programs

Campers entering 6th through 8th grade may apply to the LIT program where they will be matched with experienced counselors and activity directors for the morning sessions, then enjoy off-site electives in the afternoons. This is a great introduction to leadership within the camp community while allowing plenty of time for summer fun! The CIT program is for campers entering grades 9 through 11. CITs will learn to plan and implement projects of their own.  They will be given more responsibility as their training continues, with ongoing feedback.  In the afternoons, CITs will have the choice to assist on field trips or stay on campus to help supervise the Lower Campers. Both the LIT and CIT programs include comprehensive orientation and weekly meetings. These focus on pertinent topics such as encouraging positive camper behavior, allergy awareness and confidentiality. CITs help facilitate group community service projects, field trips and special events.
