counselors choose to ensure campers expand their interests. The activities are
developmentally appropriate and, at times, may be generated from the campers’
suggestions, interests, and experiences.In our relaxed environment, junior campers
delight in having the freedom to pursue a special interest, as well as the opportunity
to develop a new one. The highlight of the summer for each unit is their Special Day
when the activities revolve around a particular theme and Units B & C even stay late
on campus.
Senior Camp (Units D-H-3rd -7th grades) : A unique summer adventure. Senior

up to four activities, depending on the unit, to specialize in for each three-week
session. There are novice- to advance-level classes available and some activities
may require a double period. At least ten different activities are offered for each of

Brain Camp helps students in pre-kindergarten through grade 6 keep the
academic edge they gained during the school year. Morning classroom
instruction reinforces essential learning skills in math, reading, writing and
science. In the afternoon, fun and learning combine with our exciting roster of
hands-on recreational activities—from edible art to robotics to website design.
Intensive programs in reading and math enable Lower and Middle School
students to step up their skills. Designed for students poised on the edge of new
stages in learning, the morning classes offer low student-teacher ratios and
individualized instruction. Pre-testing and post-testing highlight areas where
students need extra attention and help make the difference in reaching their
goals. New in 2015: Building and Fostering Friendships (BFFs).
Wonder Kids! invites fun-loving students entering kindergarten through grade 8
to explore seven weeks of adventure science. Curious students jump into
different action-packed projects each week, exploring such diverse subjects as
movie-making, 3D world-building and the science of magic. Museum-quality
teaching tools, camp traditions and theme dress-up days add to the excitement.
Team-building activities, water games, art, computers and cooking concoctions
promise new creations every day.
Students will sharpen their creative skills in the Specialty Programs. Whether
jewelry making or photography, the intensive workshops offer personalized
instruction and plenty of hands-on experience. All programs provide students
with valuable team-building and leadership skills. Half credit courses available.
Students entering grades 7 through 12 sharpen the skills needed to succeed in
high school and beyond in Summer Scholars. Small classes target subject
areas—from math to foreign language to literature—with content designed
specifically for college preparation. Students can also gain valuable leadership
and work experience through our Counselor-in-Training program. Credit
courses available.

Description
This camp is the perfect opportunity for your child to learn about
horses, develop horsemanship and riding skills, make new friends
and have fun! This program includes many different activities
including riding two times every day, as well as learning
opportunities covering topics such as equine behavior, equipment
and veterinary care, groom and feeling, anatomy, and horse
ownership. Creative time in the afternoons offers campers a cooldown break on warm summer afternoons in the air-conditioned
Camp headquarters.
A wide variety of topics are taught combining generous riding time
with demonstrations, videos and hands on experience in horse
management.
The camp is an excellent way for beginners to get to know horses
offering "hands on" experience with grooming and handling
sessions as well as daily riding lessons. For experienced riders, the
continuity of daily lessons and the increased individual attention
helps children progress even faster than in weekly horseback riding
lessons.
Our Summer Camp gives children all of these! We provide the fun,
safe, and mind-expanding activities that kids love, led by a trained
adult staff of Montessori teachers and assistants. This Summer,
campers will "Discover America!" with outdoor adventures, games,
lessons, science projects, arts and crafts, stories, and music.
Each week, campers will concentrate on a different theme to learn
many things about America, such as:
Plants and animals - animals in our backyard, native plants, where
food comes from;
Climate and weather - clouds, forecasting the weather, the power
of the wind, the role of the sun and the moon;
Geography - rocks and soil, mountains, lakes and rivers, the states,
landmarks;
Sports - throwing, catching, kicking, teamwork, sportsmanship; and;
History - colonial America, Native Americans, and even dinosaurs!

Description
Camp Ramayana (The Epic in Dance and Drama): a month-long
summer camp for children aged 5 to 12. The Ramayana is a 2000year old epic, deeply rooted in the culture and identity of South and
Southeast Asians. Like all great epic tales, it is a vast, complex story
that captures the imagination of adults and children alike.
The Sutradhar Institute’s approach is somewhat unique in that
campers are introduced to the Ramayana through story-telling, martial
arts, yoga, mask-making, Sanskrit (the language of the epic), poetry,
rangoli (floor painting) and creative writing--thus appealing to all
children’s love of stories and story-telling.
The camp has been operating for nearly 20 years, with many children
returning year after year, first attending as junior campers and then
later as camp counselors.
Camp Kuchipudi: For those interested in immersing themselves in
dance, Camp Kuchipudi deeply explores the south Indian classical
dance style of Kuchipudi. Beginners are welcome. Although it is
structured much like Camp Ramayana, much more emphasis is
placed on dance technique and choreography.
Activities include yoga, martial arts, dance technique make up design,
Kuchipudi repertoire, and dance ethnography.
