A Taste of Sudbury – Summer Camp

Welcome to a totally different summer experience!

Unlike traditional summer camp programs that have a predetermined schedule, Sunset Sudbury School encourages campers to democratically select their daily activities based on what is most interesting to them. Campers will have the freedom to choose from fun and enriching activities such as:

  • Field trips to the Museum of Science and Discovery
  • Bowling
  • Variety of arts and crafts projects
  • Group and individual games on computers
  • Weekly movies
  • Ice or roller skating
  • Planetarium
  • Free play
  • Tour the Goodyear blimp base and fire station
  • Nature tours with naturalist at local wildlife reserves
  • Swimming at the beach, water park, or large local pool
  • Pizza, snow cone, and ice cream parties
  • Anything and everything
  • Limited only by their imagination and interest.

Campers have the opportunity to socialize outside their usual circles. They make new friends and enjoy interacting with the high-school, college, and adult counselors as equals. At Sunset Sudbury Camp we have noticed that when a younger camper sees him/herself as a peer to someone they admire they acquire greater self-confidence and a deeper sense of belonging.

Because the campers choose their activities daily, a popular choice has always been free play. Free play is a lost art in today’s society and only recently are people seeing the effects of too much scheduled time. In an article for early childhood news, Francis Wardle, Ph.D. addresses this issue: “Play is also a very effective way for children to accumulate a vast amount of basic knowledge about the world around them, knowledge needed for later learning in language, math, science, social studies, art, and medicine.” Read the full article.

So come and play with us and by they end of the summer you will be a genius!
