About Running Brook Day Camp:

All campers participate in a diverse daily
schedule of activities designed and facilitated to improve skills, encourage cooperation and increase self-confidence. Each activity is run by an experienced, adult specialist and is structured with the specific developmental abilities of each group in mind. When camper groups are at a scheduled activity, our camper-to-counselor ratio is no greater than 5:1.

Activities include:

  • Red Cross swim instruction & free swim each day
  • Arts & Crafts
  • Music
  • Sports
  • Creative Movement
  • Drama
  • Self-defense
  • Cooperative Games
  • High Ropes
  • Yoga
  • Woodshop
  • Science
  • Lego room
Each day at camp starts with an all-camp morning assembly where we review announcements, upcoming events and highlight special camper talents and achievements.  This is an important tradition that helps reinforce our camp as a community and allows us to start our day together in a fun, positive way.  Each camper group then goes on to their first scheduled activity of the day.  Groups will combine for swim periods, lunch, electives (older groups), as well as for our special events and performers .  All groups are scheduled for each of the activities listed above, with High Ropes and Woodshop being the only exceptions.  We reconvene as an entire camp for the end of the day dismissal.
 
Weekly Themes
Throughout the summer, we celebrate various weekly themes as a camp to give campers and staff additional opportunities to share more of themselves with our community, to learn more about our world together, to have different camp activities link together and to have some great, silly fun in the process. Each week will have its own dress-up day(s) to add to the fun. Past themes and dress-up days have included:
The seasons
Crazy hair day
The continents
Pajama day
“My favorite…”
Super-hero day
Stars & Stripes
Animal Day
Wacky Week
Backwards
Day
On occasion we also have special performers join us at camp for an afternoon show.
