About Camp
Tenacre Day Camp is a traditional day camp, situated in a friendly, caring, private school setting with a science center, playing fields, heated pools, air conditioned classrooms, music and art rooms, and a college-size gymnasium with an indoor ropes course. Parents feel confident in choosing Tenacre Day Camp, largely because the administration and camp staff strive to make every child feel comfortable and safe in a fun camp environment. The camp’s noncompetitive environment fosters self-esteem and individual accomplishments.
Philosophy
The camp philosophy is to provide a warm, loving, safe environment in which campers are encouraged to participate in a wide range of age-appropriate activities which are educationally sound, encourage group cohesiveness, and provide opportunities for individual creativity. The camp is sensitive to individual campers allergy issues and is a peanut/nut aware campus. Tenacre Day Camp promotes respect for the environment, individual rights, and the common values we all hold: honesty, cooperation, caring for others, friendship, and self-esteem.
The Staff
Tenacre Day Camp intentionally maintains a high ratio of counselors to campers. Each activity is headed by a college graduate with competency and expertise in that particular field. Similarly, qualified, mature college graduates and/or college-aged counselors guide each camper group. Most of the staff has been with the camp for many years and a significant number are presently teaching in area schools.
