Dana Hall Summer Camp

It’s summertime, and for many parents the bright sun and the long days that children have off from school result in sending your kids to summer camp. Some kids enjoy playing tennis and learning how to sing songs, but if you find you children dragging their feet and protesting about returning to the same old camp, give Dana Hall Summer Camp a shot. Many children don’t like the idea of team sports. Team sports can be difficult on your child’s ego, and they often result in overall boredom and lack of interest in physical activity. The staff at Dana Hall has a different idea of what summertime fun should look like, and they pride themselves on the concept of no team sports.

Dana Hall offers your campers the opportunity to try rock climbing, scuba diving, or fencing – to name a few sports. The focus on the activities at this camp is the individual, not the group. Your child will be faced with scaling large, mountainous walls and they will learn how to depend upon themselves for support. Dana Hall tries to focus on a non-competitive environment where your child doesn’t need to feel pressured or threatened. An annual field trip for this camp includes an afternoon of snorkeling in Cape Cod, followed by a few rounds of golf. This camp wants your little ones to come back year after year – maybe even as a counselor. The camp has set up a CIT program where kids can become “counselors in training,” just in case they decide to teach rock climbing one day. If you decide to send your kids to this summer camp, who knows what other types of seemingly unreachable peaks they may try to climb in the future.
