Adventure Day Camp (ADC) is held Monday-Friday from 8 am to 3:30 pm, with scheduled field trips on Thursdays every week (excluding pre-camp and week 2). Each camp week will be creatively themed and scheduled by our camp staff with age-appropriate activities and special events designed to give campers the most fun and memorable summer camp experience possible.

Adventure Day Camp (ADC) offers daily swim lessons/camp-designated pool time as part of your child’s experience! ADC will be outdoors daily at Ballantine Park Pavilion (weather permitting). Campers will be split into age-appropriate groups determined by the school grade they are entering and will participate in their daily activities within those age groups.

NOTE: During select weeks, such as Survivor Week, all groups may be mixed throughout the day.  

Adventure Day Camp also offers an after-camp option. After-Camp takes place from 3:30-5:30 pm with a snack provided; extra pool time is weather and other factors permitting.

Camp Schedule & Weekly Themes

PRE-CAMP: Adventure Day Camp & The Thrills of Harry Potter | 6/17-6/21 - register by 6/3
Calling all muggles and would-be wizards and witches. An Owl Post has arrived with mention of bringing the wizarding world to the muggle world!

During the week, campers will gain a wand, have Quidditch Practice, and attend classes featured in the Harry Potter series, including potions class and magical beasts! On Friday, a game of Quidditch will commence. The winning team will take home the Quidditch Cup, and all campers will celebrate with Hogsmade's famous Butterbeer.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Week 1: Color Wars | 6/24-6/28 – register by 6/10
Bring your team spirit to kick off the camp session filled with competition and fun. Color Wars is a camp tradition where campers will combine into groups with a designated color and utilize different skills and techniques for different activities throughout the week. Color Wars’ concept stresses the importance of sportsmanship, spirit, and camaraderie. Teams will have different themes, banners, team chants, costumes, and even a talent show. Teams will score points and at the end of the week, one team will be awarded the Camp Champion.

Week 2: Marvel & Superheroes | 7/1-7/3 (no camp 7/4-7/5) – register by 6/17
Campers will dress as their favorite superhero and attend our own Superhero Training Academy. This shortened week will be packed full of training and activities concluding with a Superhero Graduation Ceremony for all of our campers. Keep your eyes peeled for the super-villain!

During Week 2, the camp will be open on Friday, July 5 from 8am-3:30pm (with no after camp option). This additional option is available for registration (separately from the week 2 option).

Week 3: Survivor Week | 7/8-7/12 – register by 6/24
Do you dare to try a week filled with challenges, obstacles, and puzzles modeled after the original TV completion challenge game: Survivor?? Campers will be divided into groups this week and have to work with their "tribe" to earn points each day. Challenges and activities will resemble some from the show. One challenge will include each tribe making their cardboard boat, to hold their camp counselor in. The camp counselors then have to race these boats in the pool, and whoever places first will win their team points. This is just one of many challenges campers will face this week and at the end of the week the tribe with the highest points will be named "Adventure Day Camp - Tribe Survivor."

Week 4: Disney vs. Nickelodeon | 7/15-7/19 – register by 7/1
Adventure Day Camp will have a week filled with all things Disney & Nickelodeon! Campers will play a variety of games that are Disney & Nickelodeon-themed. Campers will share their favorite characters from Disney and/or Nickelodeon and discover new ones.
Campers should also keep their eyes peeled for "hidden rubber ducks" all week at camp; inspired by the "hidden Mickeys" in the Disney Parks.

Week 5: Barbie Dream House & The Mojo Dojo Casa House | 7/22-7/26 – register by 7/8
Discover a world of make-believe and a place where campers can be who they want to be. Campers will get to design and decorate Ballantine Park into their version of dollhouses (Barbie Dream House and the Mojo Dojo Casa House). During the week campers will explore their likes and dislikes, share their plans for the future, and end the week in a camp-wide fashion show. 

Week 6: The Jungle Book | 7/29-8/2 – register by 7/15
During the last week of camp, campers will go on a variety of jungle adventures. Campers will have the opportunity to design a hat, go on expeditions, and get close to a real snake and many more animals!
