Morning ActivitiesOur mornings begin with a “welcome,” followed by calendar, songs and stories. The children then cycle through the following camp activities in small groups.

CentersCenters are theme-related, hands-on activities led by a credentialed teacher or an assistant teacher. Indoor centers include structured play, computer activities, science explo-ration, math games, and reading and writing skill develop-ment. Outdoor centers on the playground encourage fun while developing motor skills through games, rhythm and movement.

artArt lessons in our studio introduce students to basic art media like paint, watercolor and pastels, using a wide variety of materials. Projects allow for creative expression and growth.

MusicMusic class fosters children’s love for music by inviting Chadwick Minis to sing songs, play simple instruments and participate in dance and movement activities.

Pool Chadwick Minis enjoy swim time two to three times a week. Our goal is to help children feel safe and have fun in the water. Swim instructors give all children a swim test to determine their level of comfort in the water and then customize instruction based on their needs. The adult-to-student ratio is one-to-two, and lifeguards monitor the pool at all swim times.

Afternoon ActivitiesThe following activities apply only to those stu-dents enrolled in the full-day program.

LunchChildren eat lunch together with the Chadwick Minis staff. Please provide a healthy lunch and drink for your child or pre-order a lunch through the school’s dining services. For more information about the dining program, see page 19.

artCampers explore art through thematic units such as the ocean, the universe and patriotism. A variety of materi-als and techniques allow campers to express themselves while building lasting cognitive and technical skills. Our experienced art instructor enhances students’ creativity with literature, movement and song.

swimmingChadwick’s Aquatics Program offers children a range of basic swim skills, while adhering to strict safety rules. An ini-tial assessment matches each camper to his/her appropri-ate swim level. Students also enjoy supervised “free swim” time in the pool two days each week. All lifeguards and swim instructors have first aid, CPR and lifeguard training.

Computer LabCampers navigate both software and web-based applica-tions in one of Chadwick’s several computer labs. The pro-grams explored include Microsoft Word, KidPix and Pixie, Google Earth, Math Blaster, Mavis Beacon Typing Software and many more.

GamesGame on! Campers use logic, reasoning, social skills, and critical thinking to play strategic board games. They will discover how game developers create board games in order to design their very own. Campers chose a theme, establish rules, directions and even design a board and game pieces. Then, we play!

sportsCampers participate in both gym and field sports. In the gym campers play basketball, handball, jump rope, and more, and have the opportunity to climb the rock wall. Soccer, capture the flag, relay races, obstacle courses, and kickball are just some of the activities that take place on the field.

Arts Unlimited General Informationsnack Break Daily 10:50–11:10 a.m.Bring a snack from home or purchase one from the kitchen window.

Lunch Daily Noon–12:30 p.m.Campers may bring lunches from home (refrigeration provided), pre-order a lunch through the school’s dining services, or purchase snacks and food from the cafeteria window (see website for more information).

Festival time 12:30–1 p.m.On Tuesdays and Thursdays, we offer a free-choice festival with a variety of offerings. Music jams, group competitions, ping-pong, crafts or just hanging out with friends on the lawn provides our campers with the opportunity to get to know each other. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, there are performances by different classes in the Laverty Auditorium. Please note: Half-day morning students may buy or bring lunch and stay for Festival. Pickup at 1:05 p.m. will be in front of the AU office, Middle School Building, Room 221.

Camper GroupsIn order to facilitate group activities and bonding, foster friendships, mentor campers, and organize the larger group into smaller units, campers are grouped in equal-sized numbers with a counselor as group leader. Familiarity games and “getting-to-know-you” activities aid children who do not have friends at the camp, find new situations intimidating, or seek to make brand-new friends for the summer. We strive to match campers and counselors, dividing them evenly into mixed gender and age groups, where they will have opportunities to learn about each other and have fun. Campers meet in the amphitheater at the beginning of each day with their counselor/group lead-er. There are competitions and group activities throughout the five weeks. Lunches from home are collected into group numbered baskets for distribution at lunchtime. Please note: We do not take requests for groups.
