Upper Camp
Electives
Upper Camp Electives
One of Upper Camp’s core aspects is the class program. Six days a week, campers spend their mornings and afternoons receiving instruction in the classes they select.
The six weeks of camp are divided into two semesters, each being three weeks in length. Each semester, a camper may take three to six classes, depending on whether they are single or double periods. Each single class is 45 minutes in length. In a given summer, a camper may experience anywhere from three to 12 different classes. Upper Camp offers over 60 different classes, so there will always be new experiences as your child progresses through his/her summers at camp.
