Summer Camp

Build your child’s self-confidence!

Benchmark Camp, for children in rising grades 1-6: 

  • Develops and maintains durable academic skills and strategies 
  • Builds confidence and competence
  • Provides the best-loved recreation program in the area

The five-week program includes Benchmark's internationally recognized language arts program, executive function skills instruction throughout the day, design thinking activities, art, swimming, and sports.

In addition, we challenge and support our Benchmark campers as they take on our 35-event Confidence Course, which includes a 40-foot high, 250-foot long zipline.

All of these elements make it a summer filled with learning, creating, and fun!

"The program was amazing. Our son's progress has improved dramatically; his confidence is through the roof. The teachers and counselors did an amazing job! Thank you."
