Program Highlights

The fundamental purpose of the Penn Charter Day Camp is to provide a happy, productive summer for children. The companionship of peers and the leadership of trained counselors attuned to the physical, social and emotional needs of children enrich the experience.

Activities include: instructional swim, free swim, tennis, art, archery, music, dance, drama, sports and games, electives, summer theme, guest performers, color team contests.

The camp is open to children ages three through 14 (younger children must be toilet-trained).

Although we are not offering extended-day this year, parents who need flexibility of schedule may drop off Day Camp and Sports Camp participants as early as 8:00 am and pick them up as late as 4:00 pm.
