Camp Harbor: 2022 Workshops & Trailblazers

Camp Harbor - Summer 2022

Workshops & Trailblazers Summer School Programs Camp Harbor - Summer 2022

Camp Harbor kids explore to learn, discover to grow and create friendships and memories to last a lifetime!

Workshops & Trailblazers Dear Camp Harbor Families, Welcome to our Workshop and Trailblazer Programs!

Workshops are held before camp from 8 am to 9 am or after camp from 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm.

Workshops are offered for a flat rate regardless of enrollment in the Camp Harbor program. There will be no pro-rating of workshop pricing, except for the week in which camp is closed due to the Fourth of July holiday.

Afternoon camp is available for Trailblazer campers. Once the Trailblazer program has finished, any campers staying for the afternoon will be escorted back to their groups and resume their schedule for the remainder of the day.

Campers only enrolled in the Trailblazer Program, with no afternoon camp, will stay for lunch only if they are participating in the lunch program at Camp Harbor.

We may add or change Workshops and Trailblazers over the course of the year. Please refer to camp e-blasts and the camp website for changes.

We look forward to seeing you this summer!

Sincerely,

April Bier Director of Summer Programs

Workshop Programs Camp Harbor is pleased to offer exciting Workshop Programs to those campers who want to keep up their academic momentum, receive an extra boost to improve skills, or take on an extra challenge to move ahead. Harbor offers its workshop programs as a supplement to the Camp Harbor program. The workshop classes, in combination with the Camp Harbor program, are optional and available at an additional charge. This is an exciting option for campers interested in concentrating on, or developing, a particular skill or interest that they might not be able to pursue during the regular school year.

All workshops meet daily, Monday through Friday, for one hour. Some workshops require a two-week commitment. These programs are offered twice each day: the morning session (8 am - 9 am) and the afternoon session (3:30 pm - 4:30 pm) By scheduling our workshop programs before and after the normal camp day, campers are able to enjoy all the benefits of the Camp Harbor schedule of events while also having the opportunity to explore their interests in a workshop.

Please note that there are no make-up days and that a course that is under-enrolled may be cancelled.

Schedule Changes: Should a student wish to make a change in their workshop schedule this must be done the Thursday prior to program, space must be available in the desired workshop for the change to occur. No refunds for schedule changes for missed workshops will be given after the Friday prior to the workshop.

Enrollment Fee: All Camp Harbor Summer Programs require that a $50 registration fee accompany each camper’s/student’s enrollment agreement. This amount is a processing charge and is non-refundable. In addition, there is a $25-per-week deposit for each week that you register your child for camp and workshops.

This deposit will only be applied towards the camp tuition for the week in which the deposit is made and is non-refundable. Please note that these charges apply for each camper/student even if he/she joins the program mid-season.

If your child is not registered to be a camper, and is just planning to workshops /trail blazers please be sure to submit a registration form, create a parent portal, and submit pick-up authorizations and medical forms. For more information contact Erica Pacheco at (631) 584-5555 or epacheco@campharbor.org.

All workshops and trailblazers run for 1 week. You must sign up and pay for the whole week.

Academic Programs Students in the Academic Workshops may strengthen and develop their language arts (reading/writing), and math skills in morning and/or afternoon classes. Because classes are small (maximum of 6 in the younger groups), there is time for a high degree of interaction between teacher and student, and individual needs can be given even more attention than during the regular school year. The atmosphere is relaxed, and emphasis is on making the learning experience enjoyable. These classes are structured in two-week sessions: the weeks of 7/5 and 7/11, 7/18 and 7/25, 8/1 and 8/8. However, varied activities allow students to attend for any number of weeks without concern for sequence.

Upon receipt of the enrollment agreement, parents requesting academic classes will be sent an Academic Questionnaire in the mail. An information sheet will be sent home by the teachers each Friday to keep parents informed. Academic courses being offered: Language Arts, Mathematics, Kindergarten Readiness and Creative Writing.

Please note: To accommodate camp families who wish to enroll in both the Language Arts Workshop and Math Workshop, we are alternating the times in which they are offered. Please be advised to check the “Workshops at a Glance” pages for the full schedule.
