DAILY SCHEDULE
The camp day is divided into four half-hour sessions in the morning, a break
for lunch,
our daily swim and one afternoon session. Opening and closing circles for
each camp group
help the campers adjust to pre-camp and end of camp transition periods. Careful
attention
is paid to structure and altering the day to best meet the needs of each camp
group.
MEDICATIONS
North East employs a Medical Director to coordinate and supervise the control
and administration
of all camper medication and tend to medical needs. Parents are encouraged
to discuss
their child's health issues with the Medical Director throughout the six-week
camp session.
LUNCH
Campers should bring a bag lunch and drink.
There is no refrigerator available, so please, pack lunches that do NOT need
refrigeration.
TRIPS
We provide each camp group with at least one field trip a week. Locations
will include
such favorites as bowling, nature centers, children's museums, and much, much
more.
Parents will be informed of trips when camp begins.
SPECIALS
Our camp staff includes nine specialists who are responsible for planning
specific activities
for the campers. Each specialist is asked to look at every detail of the activity
they will
implement and consider important factors such as transition, presentation,
materials and
instructions. Our specials include: Art, Fitness, Gym, Music, Aquatics,
Project Adventure, Nature's Wonders, Theatre Arts and Team Building activities.
