Bethesda Day Camp’s senior camp is for children in grades 2-5.  We try to group the campers by age and each group has about 10-12 campers per counselor. 

At Bethesda day camp, the highlight of our senior camp is their ability to make their own activity choices every week.  The senior campers chose 3 activities they go to everyday for 45 minutes, which they will stay in throughout the week. These choices are taught by certified teachers who come from area public and private schools. They allow the campers’ time to explore the topics at depth or create more intricate projects.  We are excited to be able to utilize our new gym and classroom space to offer some fun new activities.

Choices every week will include

  • Spanish, Computers, Recorders, Sports, Science, and Drama.  BDC
  • Some new exciting choices this summer will include Golf, Cooking, Tae-kwon do, Crazy with Clay, Jewelry Making, Yoga, and Lacrosse.
  • Total Golf Adventures™ will lead an indoor golf workshop to learn the rules, etiquette and fundamentals of the game of golf.  Equipment will be provided.
  • Mad Science™ will visit each week providing fun, age appropriate and interactive demonstrations in a variety of topics such as Bubbling Potions, Magnetic Attractions, and Worms!
  • Yoga – A variety of fun Yoga movements will be taught with instructors from YogaTales™.

In the afternoon after lunch, the senior campers will go swimming at the local pool or they participate in more fun afternoon activities led by their counselors.
