Groupings

Picture
Campers are separated into same-gender, grade-level groups to ensure they are with their peers.  By separating campers by grade level, staff are able to target specific learning characteristics associated with groups of campers to ensure campers enjoy our offered activities.  We pride ourselves on trying to ensure a 4:1 Group Counselor to camper ratio, but will never exceeding a 6:1 ratio, to ensure the safety and well-being of our campers.

Although campers are grouped by gender and grade level to maintain our optimal counselor to camper ratio, we have established our daily schedule to encourage interaction between genders in the same developmental levels.  

Pool Days (Fridays for 3-6 graders)

During weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 our older campers will be dropped off at The Club at Mendham (formally known as Mendham Racquet Club), ON FRIDAY,  instead of Borough Park, to enjoy the pool.  Campers will stay at the Club at Mendham from 9:00am to 11:00am.  *If your camper has not taken a deep-end swim test, he/she should be dropped off at the pool at 8:40 am to be tested prior to the start of camp.  At11:00am, the Assistant Camper Director, Head Counselors, and Group Counselors will escort campers on a walk back to Borough Park to finish out the day.  This will ensure they have the chance to enjoy Fla-Vor-Ices and witness the announcement of Counselor of the Week!

Please note that daily offerings may be subject to change.
