Welcome to Cedarbrook Day Camp, Where Memories Are Made! Here, kids get all the excitement and adventure of a sleepaway camp without the hefty price tag. Imagine your child experiencing the thrill of camp life making new friends, exploring the great outdoors, and creating lifelong memories while returning home to you each evening to sleep in their own bed. At Cedarbrook, every day is a new adventure waiting to be discovered!At Cedarbrook, the opportunities are boundless. Your camper will experience their first canoe ride, master the art of archery, take their first spin in go karts, unleash their artistic talents, craft their first lanyard, score their inaugural soccer goal, or nail that elusive jump shot, learn new dance routines, reel in a fish, bake delectable cupcakes, master the art of diving into the pool, hit a softball, zoom down the water slide... and then return for more the next day!
Our camp allows kids to get away from screens and take time to learn new skills, have amazing adventures, and make friendships that will last a lifetime.
The primary aim of Cedarbrook is to create a surreal summer camp setting and adventure that will leave an indelible mark on our campers!
Our dynamic daily schedule offers an array of sports, arts, and aquatics activities, combined with our distinct specialties tailored to suit each group of campers based on their age. Throughout the day, our campers explore new activities, and foster their imagination.
In our Freedom of Choice elective program, campers are able to discover new interests, learn new skills, improve their talents, and have fun doing it!
Often, children and young individuals tend to align with the decisions and schedules set by adults, as it is a reflection of our society. However, empowering kids to have a voice in their own routines and activities is crucial. Here at Cedarbrook, we incorporate 2-4 periods daily where campers can independently choose their activities. In the morning and after lunch, campers have the freedom to select their preferred activities. These choices allow children to explore new experiences, understand their preferences, learn from mistakes, and experience the joy of achieving their goals. It's truly inspiring to witness them grow and thrive when things unfold as planned!
Character has been a subject of study and debate for many centuries. Researchers at the Character Lab define character as "intentions and actions that benefit both the individual and others." They further clarify that character encompasses "strengths of the heart, strengths of the mind, and strengths of the will."
This three-part approach to character is beautifully supported by character expert Thomas Lickona, who states, "Good character consists of knowing the good, desiring the good, and doing the good habits of the mind, habits of the heart, and habits of action."At Cedarbrook Summerset Summer Camp, each week is a journey of growth and discovery, where values like honesty, kindness, respect, and perseverance are brought to life through engaging activities and heartfelt discussions. This nurturing environment helps campers blossom into well-rounded individuals, fostering their character and personal development far beyond physical skills. It's a place where young minds are inspired to shine brightly and make a positive impact on the world.
In today's fast-paced world, leisure time holds more value than ever before. Children lead packed lives, juggling school, extracurriculars, and family commitments, often staying connected online like many of us. At Cedarbrook, we prioritize downtime, allocating a precious 15 minutes between activities. Additionally, our senior campers enjoy free periods during the week, providing them with the opportunity to socialize and simply relish being carefree kids.
Our goal has always been simple: create a summer camp that offers the highest quality experience at a price families can afford. Our mission has always been to deliver a high-quality, enriching camp experience that’s accessible to all—not just the top 1% of income earners. With the rising expenses of raising children, summer should be a season of adventure, growth, and fun, not financial stress. That’s why Cedarbrook is committed to keeping fees budget-friendly, while offering the same level of care, activities, and excellence you’d expect from the very best!
