The Preschool Program
Our preschool program is designed for children who have turned 3 prior to June 1 as well as 4 years old. Campers thrive in our Preschool Program. They play indoors and out, are taught to swim by our certified lifeguards, participate in woodshop, movement, nature, art, and are read to daily. We offer quiet time after lunch for full-day campers. Enrollment options include 3 or 5 full days, or 5 half days per week. Please note: children must be able to use the bathroom independently.
The 5 & 6 Year Old Program
A bridge between the Preschool and Choice Programs, this program is designed for children who have turned 5 years old prior to June 1. Campers spend the mornings playing indoors and out with their own lead counselors and have daily swimming lessons with our certified lifeguards. After lunch, the children choose their activities, just as the older campers do, gaining confidence and independence within a structure that supports their individual development.
The Choice Program

Children ages 7 to 13 have a variety of things to explore and enjoy both indoor and outdoors. Activities include, but are not limited to, hands-on art projects, nature exploration, sports and games, drama and dance, archery, swimming, and woodshop. Campers have daily swim lessons and free time in the pool supervised by our certified lifeguards. Children can explore their creative side in dance, play Capture the Flag, go on a hike to Bamboo Island in the afternoon, and make a friendship bracelet in the shade before they head home. With COVID limitations, we may be required to limit the choices on certain weeks. That said, our commitment to well-rounded experiences and progressive education remains.
The CIT Program
The Counselor-in-Training program is for students finishing 7th and 8th grade who enjoy working with children and are looking to develop leadership skills. CITs are guided by their own counselors and they assist specialty and general counselors as part of their training. CITs also design and lead their own activities, and have special privileges and responsibilities on campus. Given the nature of the program, participants must commit to at least 4 weeks. Please contact lrichmond@theschoolinrosevalley.org to apply.
