In addition to having fun and feeling comfortable at Camp, one of the important goals of Wawenock’s introductory programs is for each girl to gain a sense of independence while adapting to the give and take of camp life.
Wawenock’s One Week Introductory Program
for entering 2nd and 3rd grades
Do you and your daughter wonder what sleep-away camp will be like? Would you like to experience the comfort and security of knowing that she will be successful at Camp? We’re delighted to introduce your family to our Week of Wonder. This program is specifically designed to give your daughter a taste of the activities, fun, and friendship that she will find in a full season at Camp Wawenock.
Wonder Weekers will swim, ride, go boating, do crafts, play tennis, take part in all-camp events and so much more. Whether she’s exploring Camp’s beautiful wooded trails, learning Camp songs, or roasting marshmallows on a campfire, your daughter will learn by doing, and feel a great sense of accomplishment as she gains confidence and becomes part of the Wawenock family.
Wonder Week Dates: July 12th-July 18th
Tuition: $2800

Though we believe in and greatly value the impact of a 7 week camp experience, we recognize that for some families with younger girls, an extended introductory experience will give them the confidence for a longer session. That is why we began offering the Wayseeker Program in 2017! Wayseekers integrate into the Camp Family to participate in all aspects of Camp life by choosing their own activity schedule and becoming a part of the greater Camp community. Your daughter will experience the fun and excitement of a summer at Wawenock!
Please contact Catriona and Andy if you have any questions about the Wayseeker Program.
“Our camp family always welcomes newcomers with a big grin.”
