Founded in 1991, Morristown Beard Day Camp provides a superior, safe summer day camp experience to children of various ages, interests and backgrounds. The MBS community is supportive and welcoming, and all campers are exposed to new experiences as they develop lasting friendships, collaborate in groups and work toward attainable goals.
MBS offers a traditional camp experience kids look forward to year after year. This summer, new specialty camps will include: Greek Mythology Crash Course, Study Skills, Short Stories, Author Boot Camp, Critical Thinking in Action, MW Basketball Camp and The Bones of Spooky Story Writing.
“Our day camp is designed to help children develop skills in sports, arts and crafts, dance, swimming, science, performing arts and in life,” says Stephanie Galvez, co-director of summer programs. “Our counselors work to promote good sportsmanship and self-confidence in each camper.”
Campers can take advantage of the school’s William E. Simon Athletic Center with regulation-size basketball courts, volleyball courts and playing fields, including a running track and multisport turf fields, as well as its 25-meter indoor pool. Performing arts are taught in Founders’ Hall, which houses a 630-seat theatre and rooms for music and drama, dance studio and support spaces for performances at the highest level.
Daily instructional swim is offered and every activity is led by experienced adult staff members. “We use innovative programming and nurturing leadership to encourage the acquisition of skills, development of friendships and a heightened awareness of our natural and social environment—all of which are important elements of a child’s growth,” Galvez says.
