Summer Day Camp
The Hawken Day Camp is a six-week program for boys and girls
ages 4 through grade 6. Campers are grouped by grade and gender, and participate
in both indoor and outdoor activities. Each activity is supervised
by an adult senior counselor who is assisted by junior counselors. This year's day camps are scheduled for June 16-July 25, 2008.
The Hawken Day Camp programs are well-known and respected
throughout the Greater Cleveland area. We attribute our success
to the quality of our staff members -- some having been with
us for more than 20 years. Small groups allow both staff and
participants to form community bonds and to work together
effectively during the entire session.
Transportation is available to and from the day camps.
Vans and buses pick up participants at their homes before
camp commences at 9:00 a.m., and return them after camp closes
at 4:00 p.m. For those who require it, precare is available
starting at 7:45 a.m.; after camp care is provided from 4:00
to 6:00. For lunch, camp participants enjoy a nutritious family-style
meal at the Hawken dining facility.
In what activites do participants engage at camp?
Sports include archery, baseball or softball, basketball, frisbee, floor hockey, soccer, and tennis. Sportsmanship
and fair play are stressed at all times. Counselors teach the fundamentals of each sport with individual improvement
in mind. Swimming is a daily activity, and the campers are taught skills according to their ability, whether it be
as a beginner or as a life saver.
Campers also receive outstanding instruction in the creative arts. For example, woodworking, painting, and other media
are used to develop the camper's creative talents.
The Hawken Day Camp also exposes participants to a unique and impressive nature study program, as well as field trips,
adventurous expeditions, daily 20-minute movies, and a variety of games. Weekly theme days and mystery guests add to the fun.
Every Friday is Special Events Day. These extra-special days
feature fun events, such as a balloon launch, costumes, talent
shows, bean carnivals, wacky olympics, picnics, watermelon
hunt, mystery guests and more.
During the sixth week, we invite parents to join us for a day of fun at Day Camp. They have the opportunity of
participating in events, as well as meeting the staff and experiencing the Day Camp first-hand.
Little Racquets™ Program Offered As NEW Hawken Summer Camp Program!
Do you want your child to learn a sport for a lifetime at Hawken Day Camp? Why not gather them together with their friends and participate in the Little Racquets tennis program. Little Racquets™ was developed by a certified tennis professional. It is a portable tennis program for PK children (ages 4-5) and children in Kindergarten and first grade in summer camp programs. From June 17-July 22, children will learn basic tennis, motor and social skills that lead to playing games on "short" courts with miniature nets, foam balls, tail balls (ribbon attached to ball) and junior size racquets. Little Racquets™ emphasizes FUN rather than competition through engaging the children in energizing activities such as: imaginative obstacle courses, agility ladder relay races, hitting stationary tennis cartoon targets, playing tennis baseball and mastering ABC forehand. No registration is required. All campers who fall within the age range will participate. Click here for more information about the program.
What if my child is a four- or five-year-old preschooler?
Hawken also offers a half-day camp for four and
five year olds who have not yet attended kindergarten. This
six-week session focuses on individual exploration and participation,
group activities, weekly swimming, art projects, appreciation
of nature, and music. Participants enjoy the camp's safe,
nurturing environment that helps foster creative fun and learning
in young boys and girls.
