What is a typical day in the Day Camp Program? Hide

Campers can be dropped off as early as 8:00 a.m. The program begins promptly at 8:30 a.m., so we ask that all campers are on campus at that time so that they do not miss out on any of our exciting program! During the course of the day, the campers take part in swimming (daily - weather permitting), art (2 - 3 times per week), dance/music (2 - 3 times per week), sports (3 - 5 times per week) and computers (2 - 3 times per week for Groups 7-14), as well as special activities that have been planned by their group counselors. The camp day ends at 4:00 p.m., which is when the car-line begins.

Are lunch and snacks provided? Hide

Browne Summer Camp no longer provides lunch or snacks. Campers must bring their own lunch and snacks (which do not require refrigeration) each day.

Who comprises the Staff? Hide

The majority of the Staff are college-aged adults with experience in a child-centered environment. Several teachers from Browne Academy, as well as teachers from the public school setting, are employed as Staff during the summer months, also.

What are the supervision ratios (Staff to Camper) for my camper’s group? Hide

We adhere to the following supervision ratios: 3-4 years old - 1:8. 5-13 years old - 1:10.

Can I register my child for either the half-day program or M,W,F program? Hide

Both of these programs apply only to campers in the Preschool (three and four year olds).

If my child is in the M,W,F program, am I able to substitute days? Hide

Due to staffing and other logistical issues, this is not possible. However, you are able to switch from the M,W,F program to the Five-day program if space is available.
