Program Overview
 Days
at Boulder Ridge are exciting and filled with activities and choices.
Each session, campers are placed in small groups based on their age and
grade with at least one counselor.
The Boulder Ridge Day Camp program is designed with the age and
development of each child in mind, providing a balance of physical and
non-athletic activities.
In
the mornings, groups will have the opportunity to try several activities
with their groups, and by the end of a session, each camper will have
tried each activity a couple times. Campers grades preK-5 have swim
lessons daily in our heated inground pool; campers grades 6-8 have
the option of signing up for these daily lessons. After a yummy
lunch with their group, most campers will have the opportunity to
participate in activities that they have chosen for the afternoon.
During this time, the youngest campers will stay with their groups for
additional activities, rest time, or free play
 Each
program area has activities planned for each age group based on their
development and their skills. While a little
rain won’t dampen our plans, when severe weather forces us indoors, we
take advantage of our 12,000 sq. ft. of indoor space.
Additionally, super hot days will give us an excuse to play more water
games and wet activities at camp!
Our sessions also include off-camp trips, outside entertainment, and
special events!
