DEAN ZONE

Before & After Care. All Included.

Flexible drop-off and pick-up, fully supervised, with real activities planned by our directors. No add-ons, no extra fees, just a calm, happy start and 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 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 full hot and cold breakfast buffet, 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 & 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.

What Parents Love ABOUT THE DEAN ZONE

IT’S INCLUDED — NO ADD-ONS,
NO SURPRISE FEES
 
IT’S FLEXIBLE — DROP OFF
AND PICK UP ON YOUR
SCHEDULE
 
IT’S SUPERVISED AND
INTENTIONAL — NOT JUST
“AFTER-CARE”

 

DEAN Zone isn’t an extra. It’s part of how we make camp feel calm, capable,
and thoughtfully run from the first drop-off to the last pick-up.
