The Hun School’s Day Camp is designed by campers, for campers—the student-based and directed camp invites kids to choose their activities for the next day and customize their summer experience. Day campers at Hun can enjoy swim lessons and free swim every day, explore nature on the school’s 45-acre campus, learn through STEAM activities, create LEGO builds and arts and crafts, take part in new games, and build friendships.
“Our campers love playing games, going to the creek to explore nature, and taking daily swimming lessons, while our parents love the flexibility of having before- and after-care, choosing full or half days,” says Director of Summer and Auxiliary Programs Patrick Quirk. Campers and parents also appreciate the provided buffet-style lunch, which offers an array of options to accommodate dietary restrictions—not to mention softserve and Dole Whip for dessert.
The school also offers one-week sports camps taught by its championship coaches in all-gender soccer and field hockey, boys’ basketball, and girls’ volleyball and dance. New this summer, Hun will host Discovery Camps hosted by CoderSchool and Drobots Company for grades 3-8, which offer fun with drones, coding, 3D printing, and Roblox; as well as the Summer Leadership Institute taught by Spaceship < > for grades 9–12. Traditional for-credit and enrichment courses in math, science, test prep, writing and other subjects are also available for students in grades 9–12.
“We’re proud that our camp connects campers with our Hun School community,” Quirk says, noting that all of the junior counselors and lifeguards are students and/or former campers. “Their connection to Hun builds belonging— which is a key goal of the school
