supportive environment.
Base Camp counselors lead campers through a well-paced and diverse schedule, getting to know their campers individually and as a group.
They assist campers in all of our program areas, helping to ensure that each camper has a positive experience along the way. Our experienced
Activity Specialists join groups to lead our program areas, engaging campers with thoughtful, age-appropriate activities and projects and allow-
ing each camper to be successful and to participate at a comfortable level.
Base Camp is offered all eight weeks of Summer Fenn in either one- or two-week sessions. The schedule and activities change weekly to en-
courage campers to join us for multiple weeks. Campers are placed in co-ed groups based on their age and the grade they will be entering the

The Lower Camp program at Summer Fenn is an excellent experience for campers entering kindergarten
and first grade.
Our unique Kindergarten program fosters a nurturing environment in which your camper will thrive. Our
highly qualified staff works closely with these young campers in their small groups of 10 or fewer campers.
With a staff-to-camper ratio of 1:3, our staff can be responsive to each camper’s individual needs while
helping them all to be successful within their group. Campers are gently guided through a well-rounded
and flexible schedule allowing them to experience a wide variety of activities at an age-appropriate pace.
Campers entering first grade benefit from our staff-to-camper ratio of 1:4 in their small groups of 12-16
campers. Our staff engages campers by helping them to connect with others, gain confidence and explore
new and exciting opportunities in a varied and well-paced schedule.
As a part of their schedule, first grade campers are introduced to individual choice, which is an integral
part of the Summer Fenn experience. Throughout the week counselors offer a variety of elective options
that are created with the needs and interests of this younger age group in mind. They work closely with
campers helping to guide them as they make positive choices about how to participate fully at a level they
will enjoy. By maintaining a high level of flexibility, we ensure that campers have fun and are successful.
Sample elective choices: Music, Water Slide, Soccer, Clay, Scavenger Hunts and Nature Walks.

comfortable pace.
During Swim Lessons, campers are placed in appropriate levels where they can develop and improve
on their swimming abilities. In Adventure, they build self-confidence while engaging in activities that
range from teambuilding on our low ropes course to the challenges of our Climbing Tower. Campers
awaken their sense of curiosity and discovery as they take part in hands-on Nature activities and
they can be individually creative in our Arts and Crafts program. In Sports and Games, they have
the opportunity to be active in an environment that combines fun with fairness. As they grow in
Base Camp, Middle Campers are provided with more choice in how to participate in their increased
afternoon Elective options.
UPPER CAMP entering grades 4 – 6
Upper Campers have more flexibility and choice in deciding how to participate in the increasing
variety of activities offered throughout their week. Our outstanding counselors travel with their
groups throughout their daily schedule and Activity Specialists offer these campers high-end and age-
appropriate programming.
As campers rise into Upper Camp, Archery is added to their weekly schedule and their Elective
choices become wide and varied, allowing them to tailor their own Summer Fenn experience. Swim
Lessons help these older campers to develop their strokes further and enhance their abilities in the
water. Our Adventure program provides increased individual and teambuilding challenges, sending
campers to new heights as they progress from our Low Ropes course to climbing and soaring on our
High Ropes elements, Climbing Wall and Zipline. In Arts and Crafts they have the opportunity to
get involved in more intricate projects, they participate actively and at their own comfort level during
Sports and Games, and they explore new elements of the natural world and interesting aspects of
science through Nature activities.
