EXCEPTIONAL OPTIONS
“The camp itinerary aligned perfectly with my child’s interests and exceeded my expectations when choosing it. The fact that my youngest could experience fencing, which isn’t commonly available, speaks volumes about the thoughtfulness and diversity of the program. Overall, the camp provided a well-rounded and enriching experience for my children.”

Absolutely. Our beautiful 202-acre campus is part of the experience for every camper. Regardless of which program your child is enrolled in, the camp day is designed with breaks, outdoor time, and opportunities to enjoy the grounds and play structures. We believe that unstructured time and fresh air are just as important as the programming itself.

Yes. Campers registered in both a morning and afternoon session are supervised during the midday break between 12:00 and 12:45 pm. You do not need to pick up and drop off your child between sessions — they are in good hands throughout the full day. This midday break is also a great opportunity for your child to enjoy lunch through the STS Black Watch Bistro.
