Camp Sewataro offers traditional day camping for kids aged 3-15. The family-run day camp was founded in 1960 on the belief that every child benefits physically, socially, and emotionally from being exposed to a broad range of experiences in a safe environment with a strong connection to nature. Campers are exposed to a beautiful wooded setting, swimming in ponds and pools, boating, zip lining, climbing a rock wall, golf, tennis, paint ball, music, and many other activities. The nine-week day camp season runs throughout summer.
Program Structure
The programs are diverse and structured, designed to foster values such as sportsmanship, fair play and cooperation. This encourages teamwork and self-confidence and campers develop a belief that they have something valuable to offer others. Activities are mostly outdoor-focused, away from screens and technology.
A weekly half-day experience is available for girls and boys aged 3-5.
Staff
Many staff members have made a long term commitment to Sewataro and over 75% return each summer. Staff is comprised of teachers, college students studying for a teaching career, and people who have chosen to devote themselves to enriching children’s lives.
Nutrition
Campers bring their own lunch and each group eats a picnic together. Nuts and nut products are not allowed at the camp.
