Adventure Play at Camp Acorn is a unique opportunity for children ages 5-12 to engage in self-directed outdoor play and construct their own playground with the support of trained playworkers. Children create anything they can imagine using materials others may cast aside as trash, like tires, wood pallets, discarded electronics and scrap lumber. In the process they learn about community, collaboration and the creative process.

During self-directed play, children:

• Are in charge of their own time. They can figure out what is important to them and what is worth compromising in a shared space.
• Have the opportunity to make mistakes and learn from them. Play is, by nature, process oriented, not product.
• Can work from their strengths, but are more motivated to tackle their challenges. Play is very motivating, even when certain aspects of it are difficult.
• Have the freedom to try new things without the timeline and structure of a classroom. Incredible things are learned in a classroom, but information can become personal and applied through play.
• Learn about community. When adults step back, children need one another, and individual strengths become important to others.

The day camp program provides camp experiences for siblings of our students, ages 2-12, who do not require intervention for special learning needs and who fall within the typical developmental ranges for their age. The program is also for staff members’ children. Day camp is a perfect solution for families that have another child attending the language program.

Day camp features a variety of hands-on, motivational camp activities led by energetic, professional camp facilitators. This program also features small class sizes with a maximum of 12 students in each group, and a small teacher-to-student ratio. We work to increase self-esteem, develop problem-solving skills, inspire creativity, expand social skills and develop organizational skills.

Activities may include:

• sports and movement
• art
• storytime
• drama
• science
• nature activities
• cooking
• music
• developmentally appropriate academic activities
