At Cedarbrook, we offer a personalized program for each camper. Our success is in our developed "age appropriate" programs and trips that ensures each child has a healthy, safe and fun summer camp experience!
Pioneers
Nursery School through Entering Kindergarten
This program is for campers ages 3 - 5. Pioneers are the youngest campers in the Cedarbrook family. All campers must be toilet trained. Head counselors in each group (many are experienced moms) are keenly aware of the needs and energy levels, both physical and social, of these V.I.P. campers.
These young campers are challenged with age-appropriate tasks involving small and large motor skills. There are loads of fun activities and they keep the biggest smiles on the littlest faces!
Pioneers are in constant care and supervision of our experienced adult and collegiate counselors. As a result, they are carefully watched and nurtured in a fun and safe environment. This program offers a perfect blend of growth and adventure.
Adventurers
Entering First and Second Grade
An Adventurer’s typical day at Cedarbrook includes all available activities and incorporates all facets of camp life. They love taking on new challenges and adventures while building lasting skills and friendships.
Adventurers participate in a program dedicated to creating a compassionate, safe, respectful environment, free of bullying and ridicule.
This division operates under constant and careful supervision of experienced adult and collegiate counselors. Adventurers are encouraged to participate in a wide range of cultural, sport and craft activities.
Voyagers
Entering Third and Fourth Grade
Voyagers enjoy all the activities at Cedarbrook, along with an opportunity to choose areas of special interest during Club Periods. Options include athletic clinics, arts, hobby areas, aquatics specialties, and adventure activities.
They get the chance to experience the commitment and camaraderie of teamwork through participation in intramural. Teams face off on sports fields, courts, or diamonds to test their newly honed abilities and practice cooperation and teamwork, while their coaches lend encouragement and inspiration. This group is also supervised by our experienced adult and collegiate counselors.
In addition, Voyagers occasionally enjoy the privilege of venturing outside the Cedarbrook grounds on exciting day trips!
Explorers & Teen Quest
Entering Fifth through Ninth Grade
Explorers are campers entering the 5th and 6th grades, and for campers entering the 7th thru 9th grades we have the Teen Quest Division.
While we believe that younger campers should be exposed to all activities so that they can make enlightened choices later in life, we encourage senior campers to tailor their own summer days to create optimal fun and personal skill development. That’s why these campers design a good portion of their own program.
A typical day for these campers includes a variety of activities as well as daily and weekly blocks of time dedicated to the pursuit of Selective and Club options. Options include adventure activities, crafts and hobby areas, and/or athletic clinics.
In addition, Explorers and Teen Quest campers enjoy the privilege of venturing outside the Cedarbrook grounds on exciting weekly day trips!
These programs are subject to change based upon CDC and NJ Department of Health Covid-19 guidelines and protocols.
Counselors-in-Training
Entering Tenth Grade
Being in high school doesn’t mean camp days have to end. Tenth graders make some of their best camp memories in the Counselor-in-Training (CIT) program.
CITs learn how to work with children and staff in a closely supervised environment. Each day they divide their time between a field assignment, free choice and scheduled CIT activities organized by the CIT Director.
Our CITs get the chance to gain work experience for the future and to develop leadership skills. They also enjoy participating in camp activities and socializing with their peers!
