CDS Summer 2023
Join us this summer for friendship, outdoor fun, unique experiences, and learning through play at Chatham Day School! Children ages 3–6 (rising first grade) can choose from six themed weeks designed to fit their interests. Our flexible schedule allows for campers to attend all six weeks or to choose individual weeks to fit your family’s needs.
Camp will be held from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. during the weeks of June 12, June 19, June 26, July 3, July 10, and July 17, on the Chatham Day School campus which features a large playground, hiking trails, sports fields, outdoor classrooms, and a large patio area. Weekly themes and sample activities can be found on our website, as well as a sample weekly schedule.
Be sure to fully complete the registration form. A registration does not hold your child(ren)’s spot for the week until it is completed and paid. CDS Summer Camp is very popular, and weeks sell out quickly. Make sure to reserve your spot today!
General questions and inquiries about registration/waitlists can be directed to Maria Pormilli, Director of Auxiliary Programs, at mpormilli@chathamdayschool.org. Program and week-specific questions should be sent to camp@chathamdayschool.org. We look forward to speaking with you!
