INDEPENDENT SCHOOL GUIDE SUMMER PROGRAMS FOR TOTS TO ELEMENTARY-AGED CHILDREN SummerSault New York, NY

SummerSault, marking its 46th year, will run for six weeks and includes children three years of age to entering second grade. SummerSault is well known in New York City and has benefitted many children through the years. Town School faculty serve as administrators for our program and our experienced and enthusiastic staff, many from The Town School, lead campers through a wide variety of activities including swimming, sports, crafts, and music.

Among SummerSault’s most popular activities is Whimsical Wednesday. This special day of fun includes Hat Day and Pajama Day, among other special events, and ends with a musical performance by a well-known singing group, Beth & Scott. We look forward to welcoming back our returning children as well as meeting new SummerSault friends. All children are welcome! Traditionally, three-fourths of our attendees are not from The Town School. We offer a safe, relaxed, and creative program to ensure a wonderful summer for your child.

The tennis program, offered to our older children and taught on the premises, is a twice weekly semi-private class. The class focuses on hand/ eye coordination, racquet control and good sportsmanship. Music for all ages is taught in the classroom, and offers singing and movement as part of its curriculum. Gym Time is offered in our gym twice weekly and is taught by a physical education teacher from The Town School; our focus is skill oriented with emphasis on having fun! Arts and Crafts are part of our daily activity schedule, and we are fortunate in having a specialized program in the Art room as well, taught by an artist. SummerSault has always been particularly proud of its individualized one-on-one swim program, which this year continued its expanded pool time to ensure maximum swim time for the campers. All of our teachers are certified lifeguards or certified water safety instructors. Although optional, many campers are enrolled and improve their skills substantially. This year, in addition to our wonderful Reading Tutorial Program, we offer a Math Tutorial for children entering Kindergarten and above. These tutorials are taught by teachers from the Town School. By providing the children with three private half-hour sessions per week in either reading or math, the program provides an outstanding opportunity for children to practice and improve their skills and make significant gains over the summer months.
