What is Camp College?
Camp College and its affiliated programs offer your child an enriching alternative to the
traditional summer day camp. Campers combine study in a variety of stimulating subject areas
that emphasize intellectual growth and skills development with the fun of recreational activities
at the West Windsor Campus. Children choose up to six different "courses" in our four-week session
or three-week session. Most courses meet 55 minutes daily for each session. Camp College's affiliated
Specialty Camps and Friday Fun Days
are half days or full days.
