    Description:     The CIT program will provide a hands-on opportunity to develop a variety of skills necessary for future employment as a camp counselor and for skills that will help them work with campers. CITs will have a well-structured yet flexible series of workshops where they will have the opportunity to learn more about the different aspects of being a camp counselor and working with campers. CITs will learn valuable leadership and communications skills and have the opportunity to participate in a self-motivated program designed around their ambitions to work towards their goal of being a camp counselor. CITs will develop the skills by participating in swimming, games, field trips, first aid and child safety as well as leadership and child psychology courses. Our goal is to give young people the opportunity to work under a qualified director and to begin to learn and understand the demands and responsibilities of a camp counselor’s job. Campers will look to CITs as leaders and role models, therefore, high standards of conduct, attitude and good judgment are expected at all times while working with campers.

Athenian Aquatics Program

List of 1 items.

  • Swim Lessons

    Athenian Summer Aquatics Program provides eight 20-minute lessons in a session (Monday – Thursday) for campers 4-years-old and up. Our program is designed for children at all swim levels, based on the American Red Cross “Learn to Swim” curriculum. Little swimmers will discover how to fully submerge their face and blow bubbles and experience supported floating and kicking on front and back. More advanced swimmers will begin to learn alternating arm action, swimming under water, rhythmic breathing, and the major strokes. For swimmers ready for even more advanced techniques, a program can be adapted to meet your swimmers individual needs.

    "Add on" Swim Lessons
    Campers enrolled in Summit Seekers, Sports Camp, Little Owls, and Half Day Trail Blazers, can add on swim lessons during their day-camp hours. Our camp staff will pick up these campers from their camp programs and take them to their swim lessons (and back). These swim lessons are taught by trained lifeguards and swim instructors, and are small groups of two students to one instructor. 

    Session 1: $165
    Session 2: $188
    Session 3: $188

    Private Swim Lessons
    Private swim lessons occur after camp hours and are one-on-one, 20 minute individualized lessons with our trained lifeguards and swim instructors. These occur between 3:30 and 5:30 PM Monday through Thursday.

    Session 1: $205
    Session 2: $265
    Session 3: $265

    *Note: Make up swim lessons are not provided if you are unable to attend camp.

Extended Care

List of 1 items.

  • Extended Care

    AM Extended Care

    Morning Extended Care is free of charge and starts at 8AM. While we do not charge a fee for early drop-off, we do ask that you check off this “add on” option during registration so that we can take account of how many campers to expect in the mornings for our staffing planning purposes. Additionally, we provide “Breakfast Club” as an “add on” option during registration, which provides a hot breakfast and fruit/cereal options from 8-8:30AM daily at an additional charge of $8 per meal.

    PM Extended Care

    Afternoon Extended Care is an additional cost that you can “add on” as an option during registration. Extended care is staffed by seasoned camp counselors who engage with campers through a menu of choice activities: arts and crafts, games, and outdoor equipment. Afternoon Extended Care is from 3:30-5:30pm. 

    Please make every effort to arrive by 5:30 pm. We recognize that there are times when unavoidable challenges arise, and therefore, our policy is that after one occurrence of lateness, a $1.00 per minute penalty will be incurred. The staff will notify you at the time of pickup, and the fee will be charged to you.  The Summer Programs Director will follow-up with the collection of this fee (that goes directly to the staff that must work overtime). If not paid immediately, a $5.00 processing fee will be billed to your account in addition to your late fee.

    Any camper who has not been picked up will be directed to Extended Care.

    Please be aware that on the last day of camp for Session 3 we will not offer Extended Care. We will close at 3:45 PM.

Summer Camp Transportation

List of 1 items.

  • Transportation

    We provide two different bus routes during the summer, and the cost is as follows:
      • Session 1: $65 (each way)
      • Session 2: $70 (each way)
      • Session 3: $70 (each way)
        • Each sibling is 50% off the above prices
    Your child must be pre-registered to ride the bus through our registration system. Transportation is an “add on” in our system, and families can sign up for morning transportation, afternoon transportation, or both. The bus route can be found on the homepage of our website. 

    Our school buses are the big yellow buses and will read “The Athenian School” on the side. If registration for transportation is low, we may be using our school vans. A daily safety inspection is performed on each vehicle. All drivers are certified school bus drivers and as such, follow all state and federal driving regulations. All school buses are equipped with cell phones. 

    Afternoon Drop-off: PLEASE inform the Athenian Summer team by email if your child will NOT be utilizing the PM bus system. It is critical that we are informed in advance regarding who needs to be on the bus to go back home each day. If a parent or authorized pickup person is not at a bus stop at drop off time, your child will be brought back to The Athenian School and brought to extended care. 

    Morning Pick-up: If a child is not present at the bus stop for the morning pick-up, the driver will leave to make it to the next stop on time with the campers who are present. You do not need to call the school if you will be absent and therefore, not taking the bus on any particular day—if your child is not present, the driver will assume that you are not planning to use the bus on that day. We work with our drivers to ensure that they do NOT leave before the designated time listed, unless it has been communicated with families beforehand.
