SUMMER CAMPS OVERVIEW

A full-day camp where students have the opportunity to meet new friends, discover new skills, and explore the outdoors. Each day, students will immerse themselves in the magical world of Wildwood Cottage. This age-appropriate program offers children dynamic experiences based on their developmental age and interests. Unlike a traditional camp, each day at Camp Discovery is packed with unique themes such as animal educa-tion, engineering with nature, STEAM — and it doesn’t stop there! Children will leave each afternoon with a sense of accomplishment, confidence, ever-lasting smiles, and discovery.

New this year are a number of hands-on STEAM-based activities (science, technology, engineering, arts and math), nature walks through our backyard, and exciting off-campus experi-ences. It is also a wonderful opportunity for students who will join the Stanwich community in September to be introduced to new friends and teachers.
