Summer Programs for School Age Children at
The Dow Jones Family Center!
Camp Explorations Mission:
Summer camp is a time for fun, friendships, and exploration. The mission of Camp Explorations is to provide a place
that uses the child’s growing capacity to make choices, work together with others, and assume responsibility in a
relaxed and non-school atmosphere to create memories that last a lifetime. In addition to the multiple activities
offered that accompany each week’s theme, Camp Explorations offers swimming, enrichments and field trips every
week. Camp Explorations’ schedule is set-up so that there is a balance between planned activities and free choice
time. Although the camp counselors provide multiple planned activities daily, the direction of each week’s camp is
flexible allowing for input from the campers so that the week better reflects each particular group’s interests and
ideas. Activities are offered simultaneously so that campers can work in small groups according to both their
interests and their age/ability levels.

These are the same hours as the childcare program for children ages 6 weeks – 6 years so siblings can be dropped off
