Friday, July 2nd, 2010

The sun was shining brightly on Tuesday as we all waited for our campers to arrive!!! Our buses rolled in by 9:15 and they were filled with such happy campers! Everyone was eager to start their first day at camp (And if truth be told, we were just as eager to see them as they were to see us!). (more…)


Camper & Parent Orientation

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

Yesterday was a PERFECT day for our camper and parent orientations. After two weeks of staff training, our counselors were so excited to finally meet our campers!

Everyone had the opportunity to get to meet one another; Our campers got to meet our incredible staff, they also met their fellow campers and had a blast revisiting the camp grounds. Our Stepping Stones campers played in the Stepping Stones Village and had the opportunity to try out a school bus so that they’ll be ready when they see their camp bus rolling up to their home this Tuesday! Our upper camp campers had a tour of the camp and played all sorts of games to get them in that NSDC kind of mood… And our Voyagers – boy oh boy – they got to hear about all of the fun places they’ll be going to this summer. The excitement in their faces – Complete awesomeness!!!

Tuesday just can’t come soon enough!

One of the most frequently asked questions we get from our camp parents is “When can I come to camp and play too?” Well the answer to that question is “Family Day!”   This past Sunday was our Family Day 2010 for our upcoming NSDC summer families and we had a fantastic time! (more…)


Rain, Rain Go Away – Open House Anyway!

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

The rain couldn’t put a damper on our camp spirit as we hosted our final Open House of the season. With face painting, arts and crafts, magic, great refreshments and tours of camp, what could be a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon?  We met many wonderful families as you can see, and we are thrilled that many have already decided to become a part of our North Shore Day Camp family!  We’re still bringing families around and giving tours to show them all that NSDC has to offer during the week and on weekends.  So if you have friends that you think would enjoy a summer here at camp, then send them our way…we’d love to show them around too!
