CDS Summer 2026
Join Chatham Day School’s Summer Camp for children ages 3*–6 (rising first grade)! Campers enjoy friendship, outdoor fun, and learning through play across six themed weeks. Chatham Day School’s campus features a playground, hiking trails, a sports field, outdoor classrooms, and more. Families may attend all weeks or choose those that fit their schedule.
Camp is half day, from 9 a.m.–12 p.m. We will provide a morning snack, and camp will dismiss before lunch. Weekly themes and sample activities** are available on our website. CDS Summer is very popular, and weeks sell out quickly. Make sure to reserve your spot today!
