SUMMER 2024 Updates

 

Monday, July 1 - Friday, August 16, 2024

REGISTRATION:  Registration for Kids Programs is about to open including registration for Playschool, Morning Youth Program, Youth Leadership Camp, Sailing Camp, Afternoon Youth Program and Afternoon Tennis Program. 

Please understand that early in the season we have more limited spaces for each session but that more space will be added in the coming weeks. We work hard to accommodate as many children as possible while ensuring that they are safe and well-supervised.  If you find that you are unable to register for a session because it is full, please sign up for the waitlist.  

We are excited to welcome you back to the Chilmark Community Center.  Our summer camp program runs for seven weeks: Monday, July 1 through Friday, August 16.  Camp sign up is for one week at a time.  This summer we have made some changes and have also added some programs. 

*PLAYSCHOOL: The starting age for Playschool this summer is again 3-1/2 years old.  We will only accept children who were born on December 31, 2020 or before. Children who attend are expected to have prior group experience and be fully toilet trained. 

ALL DAY CAMP OPTION:  When you register your camper for both the morning and the afternoon program (including Afternoon Tennis Camp) in the same week and are not an Island resident, you are eligible to receive a $50 discount in pricing for the week. The discount is applied to the afternoon program. Please enter code FULLDAY24 at checkout. Children staying all day will need to bring their own lunches. 

NEW YOUTH LEADERSHIP CAMP: The YLC is a unique blend of leadership training, personal development, and community historical appreciation, structured over a summer camp experience. Our program is designed to instill a deep sense of responsibility, community service, and respect for legacy in young individuals ages 13 - 14. This program is only offered in the morning.

NEW COUNSELOR IN TRAINING PROGRAM: 15 year olds now have their own CIT program designed to develop and foster core skills of leadership, integrity, character, communication, and initiative. The program is available for mornings, afternoons and full days. Those interested and eligible for the program must complete the Counselor Application Form to apply. 

AFTERNOON YOUTH CAMP:  This program for ages 6 - 12 has been reimagined and redesigned. Each week a new theme-based program will be offered designed to captivate and enrich your camper's experience. Every week participants will dive into project-based enrichment activities. Themes will range from athletics, music, visual arts and movement arts. Specific themes for each week will be announced shortly. 

SAILING CAMP: Learn to sail on idyllic Quitsa Pond!  Our program welcomes kids of all abilities who are ages 8 - 14 years old  We encourage those with little to no experience to give sailing a try. Students will learn the fundamentals of sailing via first hand experience. Sailing camp will run from 9am-12pm. In the event of rain, sailors will join the Youth Morning Progam at the Center for the day in the appropriate age group. 

We are looking forward to a great summer of 2024! See you soon.
