Why Parents Choose Sappington Summer Day Camp
Parents want their children to enjoy summer while staying active and engaged. Our camp is designed to provide both. Kids experience the joy of outdoor play while also building skills that prepare them for the next school year.
Here’s what sets Sappington Summer Day Camp apart:
- A safe and welcoming environment.
- A balance of physical activity, creativity and quiet time.
- Engaging field trips and special guests that spark curiosity.
- Experienced staff, including elementary teachers and/or college students majoring in education who care about your child’s camp experience.
Our camp is more than just a place to spend the day—it’s a community where children thrive.
Academic Engagement Through Fun
Learning is disguised as adventure at our camp. Each week has themed activities that spark imagination and curiosity. From creative arts and crafts to STEM activities, kids are encouraged to explore, problem-solve and think critically. Our weekly field trips to museums, nature centers and local attractions add real-world experiences that bring learning to life.
Structured Routine vs. Boredom
Unstructured summers often lead to boredom, too much screen time and a lack of focus. Our camp provides a purposeful routine that balances activity and leisure.
A typical day includes:
- Morning outdoor games, sports and swimming in our in-ground pool.
- Arts and crafts in our air-conditioned building.
- Group activities and organized games that build teamwork.
Building Confidence Through Outdoor Play
Outdoor play is at the heart of our camp. Kids climb, run and explore in ways that build both physical strength and self-confidence. Whether it’s a game of soccer or kickball, a scavenger hunt or a team relay, children learn the value of teamwork and perseverance. Children also enjoy swim lessons led by a certified lifeguard, building water confidence while staying safe. At Sappington Summer Day Camp outdoor activities also help children develop social skills. Friendships formed at camp often last long after summer ends.
Why Summer Camp Matters for Long-Term Growth
The benefits of summer camp go beyond the season. Children who attend Sappington Summer Day Camp return to school with stronger social skills, better focus and renewed confidence. They also develop habits that can last a lifetime:
- Staying active and healthy
- Exploring new ideas with curiosity
- Building friendships and teamwork skills
- Balancing fun with responsibility
These experiences help shape children into well-rounded individuals ready to take on new challenges.
