Day Camp 2012 (ages 5-12)
The Day Camp program is entering its 21st year serving younger children, ages 5-12. Each camper's individuality is fostered in a safe environment while daily opportunities strengthen and enrich social, spiritual and psychological development. The Camp Stella Maris Day Camp, a Monday through Friday program, provides an opportunity for children to experience the benefits of camping.
Day campers share the Camp Stella Maris facilities with the resident campers and participate in similar activities, such as arts and nature, swimming, other sports and spiritual. Activities are supervised by enthusiastic, highly-trained staff members.
We offer an early drop-off option, starting at 7:30 a.m. and continuing until 8:45 a.m. (see registration form). Regular hours are from 8:45 - 9:00 a.m. and pick-up from 4:45 - 5:15 p.m. at the Day Camp Center.
Campers picked up after 5:15 p.m. will be charged a $25 fee for each occurrence. For security, parents must sign-in and sign-out each day.
