What is the camp’s mission and philosophy? Girls in grades 4-8 experience an exciting array of enrichment opportunities in academics, athletics and the arts. Campers enjoy fun-filled programs while building new skills and forming friendships.

What safety measures are in place? The beautiful SJA campus is surrounded by perimeter fencing.

What is the camper-to-counselor ratio?

20:1

How are staff members screened and trained? Staffers undergo full background/fingerprinting checks through the State Police. Staffers lead camps that are in their areas of expertise (athletics, cooking/baking, arts, academic enrichment, technology, etc.). 

Is there a daily schedule, and can you provide an example? Two sessions of each camp are offered: Morning sessions are from 9 a.m. until 12 p.m., and afternoon sessions are from 1 to 4 p.m.

Are there opportunities for free play or downtime? Campers enrolled in our all-day Day Camps have an hour break for lunch.

How does the camp handle health issues and allergies? Parents complete a health and allergy questionnaire as part of the registration process. This information is shared with all camp counselors.

Are there opportunities for parents to visit or participate in camp activities?

Several camps offer showcases on the last day of camp for parents to attend and experience what their youngsters have done and/or created.
