The Glen Urquhart Summer Camp has a long-standing tradition of combining educational, hands-on workshops with the easygoing feeling of afternoon summertime fun for children ages 4-14. The atmosphere is non-competitive, creative, inquisitive, and playful. Our array of activities, whether focused in visual arts, music, performing arts, science, or outdoor explorations, are geared toward the type of discovery and personal development experienced outside of the school year.
We are located on twenty-three extensive acres of woodlands and fields in Beverly Farms and just one mile from beautiful West Beach. Our programming makes use of these bountiful natural resources as we explore our nature trail and local conservation lands, take trips to the beach, and play on our outdoor basketball and four square courts, playground structures, and athletic fields. Indoors, we have complete access to our classrooms, science labs, computers, SMART Boards, sky-lit art studio and kiln, kitchens, and air-controlled gymnasium and auditorium.
Our staff members are chosen for their experience, sense of humor, enjoyment of children, and commitment to making our summer program fun, inspiring, and safe for everyone. Professional teachers lead morning specialty workshops and responsible college and high school counselors assist them. The Summer Director, lifeguard, and experienced counselors lead afternoon activities. A full time nurse is employed for the summer. Adult-to-participant ratios are typically 1 to 7.
Every year our program changes and responds to the interests and expectations of parents and children, resulting in unique offerings and a reputation for excellence. But our philosophy remains unchanged; we encourage children to discover the best within themselves and others.
