Summer Programs Brochure

Join us for Day Camps, Specialty Camps and Sports Camps this summer at Severn!

June 16 through August 2, 2013 Day Camp, Specialty Camps and Sports Camps for all ages!

Summer at Severn 2013 will be one to remember! Dive into some of our exciting new opportunities and enjoy the quality programs that have made our camps worth returning to year after year. This summer’s opportunities extend across three major categories: day camp, specialty camps and sports camps with extended hours available for most of our programs. This guide is to help you and your family decide the best comprehensive summer camp schedule just for you!

Severn Day Camp has headlined Severn’s summer programs for 40 years, and we look forward to another summer of fun and friendship. With a number of age-specific groups, Day Camp has much to offer for our preschool to Middle School campers. So much in fact, that many campers who attend an early session often decide to sign up for a second or even a third session.

We invite novice and experienced athletes alike to learn and sharpen their skills in a challenging but instruction-rich environment at one of Severn’s Sports Camps with offerings that include lacrosse, soccer, field hockey, football and basketball.

We offer an array of Specialty Camps for hands-on learning, giving students the chance to explore their passions – or develop one – in areas such as robotics, chess, guitar and computer animation. We are excited to once again invite you to spend your summer with us at Severn School.

campers entering preschool - 8th grade

Severn Day Camp provides a safe and stimulating environment for students as young as age four through those entering 8th grade. Each two-week session is made up of fun and educational activities centered on a different theme, culminating in a camp-wide open house for family and friends on the last day of the session.

Your child will be placed in an age-specific group led by a team of enthusiastic counselors who provide constant and careful supervision from the moment campers arrive at 9 am until the end of the day at 3 pm. The counselors guide campers through the day, participating with them in each activity, be it a nature trek or an exciting adventure to the ropes course, or a quiet lunch in the shade at our waterfront Outdoor Learning Center.

New! Blue Crabs and Comb Jellies will visit Severn School Chesapeake Campus three times a week (MWF) from 11:00 am - 1:00 pm for “playground adventures” and to eat lunch. After lunch they will join the other Severn campers at the pool.

Transportation is in accordance with the Severn School Motor Vehicle Safety Policy and Maryland Youth Camp state regulations. The policy may be viewed at online registration.

Campers should bring a lunch and a refillable water bottle each day, as well as a swimsuit and a towel for the afternoon pool session. No open-toed shoes please.

Please include camper’s name on all items brought to camp.

Campers will bounce, climb and dig, traverse the monkey bars, captain a ship, visit the lighthouse, and trike their way around our riding path. After eating lunch they will join the other Severn campers at the pool. swimming Each day comes to a refreshing end with a dip in the nearby Severna Park Community Center pool. Younger campers travel to the pool by bus, while older campers walk with their counselors. The pool itself is divided into six areas, with one area designated for each age group. The community center provides lifeguards each day, and the day camp staff adds to the level of both fun and safety with counselors in the water and supervising from the pool deck.

*Group capped at 12 campers per week We are pleased that we will again offer our older campers the opportunity to participate in Severn Day Camp’s Community Enrichment Program. Those campers who choose to participate in our Community Enrichment Program will have the unique opportunity to discover one of Severn’s most valuable assets – its community! Campers will spend their mornings exploring the many service related projects our community has to offer through a variety of on and off campus field trips. Interacting and playing with animals from local animal shelters, participating in the youth program for Habitat for Humanity, creating gifts for local children’s hospitals, visiting the nearby senior living facility and welcoming home military service members are a few of the opportunities that may await Severn Day campers who choose to be a part of this exciting program.

Upon returning to campus, campers will still enjoy lunch with the rest of their day camp friends followed by our daily trip to the local pool. Certificates of community service are presented to each camper with their number of hours served! We hope you join us for a summer of fun and new opportunities.
