Sign Up for Fun and Learning at Lauralton Hall Summer Camp

Is your child interested in learning how to write computer code or bake a cupcake? Learn a new card game or escape a room? Play a new team sport or discover an archeological artifact? At Lauralton Hall’s co-ed summer camp, Sports & Enrichment for Kids, campers choose from a wide range of activities from producing their own videos to creating fashions out of recycled goods. Designed primarily for kids in kindergarten though eighth grade, the program also includes five athletics sessions designed for girls in high school. There’s something for everyone— even how to make a good speech or build a robot.

Sports & Enrichment for Kids runs from June 24 – August 9, 2019 on Lauralton Hall’s historic 25-acre campus at 200 High Street, Milford. Sessions are led by qualified, extensively trained adults in the School’s air-conditioned classrooms and science labs as well as in the Athletic Center and on outdoor playing field. Managed by experienced Lauralton faculty, camps sessions are staffed with teaching professionals and all student counselors are over the age of 18 with a minimum 100 hours of training.

Sessions run from 9:00 a.m. –1:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. Campers have the option to purchase lunch and snacks (the campus is nut free). Early drop off and late pick up options also are available.

Weekly sessions are as follows:

Session 1: June 24 - 28

Session 2: July 1 - 3 (no camp on July 4-5)*

Session 3: July 8 - 12

Session 4: July 15 - 19

Session 5: July 22 - 26

Session 6: July 29 - August 2

Session 7: August 5 - 9

*Given the July 4 holiday, Session 2 is structured so that campers can do a little of everything for three full or half days (versus our regular five-day sessions where campers pre-register for one morning camp and/or one afternoon camp). Campers will participate in a variety of activities– getting a taste of the many different camps offered throughout the summer.

New topics in 2019 include Archeology Adventure, Hogwarts at Lauralton, Card Sharks, Cooking 201, Babysitters Club & First Aid, Storytellers: Once Upon a Time, Television and Print Journalism, and Everything is Awesome! Among the most popular topics are Kids with Canvas, Coding and Programming, Engineering Challenge, Construction Kids, Cupcake Creator, Fun With Fitness, Escape the Room, Innovation Station, International Junior Chef, Musical Engineering, Photography 101, Leadership and Public Speaking, Soup to Dessert: Meal Planning, CSI, and Summer Conditioning and Fitness.

According to Camp Director and Lauralton Hall Teacher Christine Miller, Sports & Enrichment for Kids is focused on fun and learning in a safe environment. “We find that many new campers who sign up for a session early in the summer enjoy it so much, they return for more throughout the summer – often for the same topic – because they want to be immersed in robotics or art or a new sport,” said Ms. Miller. “Our camp provides a professional, nurturing environment for kids to have fun while tapping into their creativity or learning new skills.”
