Welcome!

Summer Programs

at PRINCETON DAY SCHOOL We are delighted to offer many one-week camps this year! Some of our new one-week camps include Crafting Craze, where campers will use natural materials like sticks, leaves, and rocks to create traditional crafts. This year, we will offer a Drone Camp that incorporates the science and technology behind the mechanics of drones as well as the opportunity to compete in drone racing tournaments! Also new this year are one-week Language Arts programs for grades 1–2 and grades 3–4, using the Magic Tree House book series. Stacey Walker, Princeton Day School Math Specialist, has created a 2-week Math Program for grades 1 –2 and grades 3–4, as well.

Laughter, fun, and learning await your child at Summer Programs at Princeton Day School.

LANGUAGE ARTS

This camp will involve running around and creating natural and traditional crafts using collected material like sticks, leaves, rocks, and mud! We will create many natural crafts using material the campers gather themselves. While the sun dries handmade paper and candles cool off, we’ll play games and run around. These campers will have plenty of fun crafts to show off!

Gr. 1–4

Using the Magic Tree House series, children will engage in literacy activities to build comprehension and fluency in reading, and writing activities related to the book’s plot and characters.

DEBATE CLUB Campers will learn how to construct and deliver effective oral arguments. They will frequently engage in lively, structured debates with one another. Time and attention will be devoted to researching the debate topics in order to back up claims with facts, and campers will be taught proper public speaking methods.

This program will stress public speaking delivery, organizational skills, quick thinking, awareness of issues and knowledge of current events.

Gr. 5–8 HISTORY – AMERICAN Campers will explore history by examining documents, artwork, photos, literature, songs, and movie clips. Using these source materials, campers will practice historical analysis by writing on broad, essential questions.
