GWYNEDD FRIENDS SCHOOL Summer Camp

Our beloved summer camp program is held during June and July for current GFS students entering Preschool through Kindergarten. Families can sign up for one week or all seven! Camp hours are from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.

The Gwynedd Friends School’s Summer Camp is held both outdoors and inside. Bunks are split up according to age. Children will enjoy cooling off under the sprinklers and water tables, and playing games throughout our 12 acre campus. They will create daily art projects, and listening to stories and songs based on the weekly themes. The weekly visits to the community garden provides an interactive learning environment as children will have the opportunity to plant, harvest and taste the produce!

Weekly themes allow for opportunities to create castles or spaceships out of boxes, attend art and gym classes and listen to stories on big blankets in the grass. There will be field games, music, storytelling, dramatic play, and sensory activities offered each day. Time for reflection, practicing kindness, building friendships, and celebration of the Quaker testimonies are also woven throughout the morning program.

Children will bring in a nut/peanut-free snack and lunch each day to enjoy before going home. Children will get to enjoy popsicles or other cool treats throughout the week.
