| Brief Description | The Camp @ Cleveland Park Club offers a low-key, warm, and welcoming setting for campers and counselors alike. This informal summer program combines old-fashioned, self-directed play with organized, hands-on activities. \r\n\r\nCampers and counselors expand their horizons, make lasting friendships, and have fun in an atmosphere reminiscent of the days when neighborhood children of all ages spontaneously gathered for outdoor fun.\r\n\r\nThe camp is intentionally small. Each week, a maximum of 40 campers attend and 10 counselors volunteer to play, teach, and help.\r\n\r\nAlmost all activities take place outdoors. The Club has an expansive porch, large sandbox, two-level fort, and grassy lawn. \r\n\r\nFun and educational projects vary with each week's theme. Campers may enjoy daily free swim in the Club's pool and/or participate in swim instruction (for an additional fee). |
