DEAN ZONE

More Than Before & After Care

Flexible drop-off and pick-up, fully supervised, with dozens of activities for your camper to choose from. No add-ons, no extra fees, just a calm, happy start and energized finish to your camper's day.

DEAN Zone is our before- and after-camp program which wraps around the
core camp day with safe, supervised, and genuinely enjoyable time, giving
parents flexibility and giving kids a calm, happy start and energized finish to their day.

DEAN Zone & Flexible Drop Off

7:30am - 9:00am

Arrive any time 7:30am-9:00am and counselors will greet your camper and walk them to a breakfast buffet with 8 hot and cold stations, covered in the camp fee. Once they've eaten, free-choice activities get the morning going: board games, crafts, outdoor play, or reading. A calm, unhurried start before the specialty programming begins.

DEAN Zone at Lunch Time

A buffet lunch with hot and cold options is included in the camp fee, and once campers have eaten, they can head to the pool for a swim, or choose from a rotation of activities across the campus: field sports, a craft and maker station, board games, or a quiet reading zone. They follow their energy until the next session starts.

DEAN Zone & Flexible Pick-Up

3:30pm - 5:30pm

When the specialty programming block ends at 3:30, DEAN Zone picks right up. Pick up whenever works for you. Your camper's time is filled with a rotating mix of games, art, group play, and quiet zones to read, relax, and reset. They choose how they want to spend it.
