Christmas Craft-tea Camp

Camp hours: 9-3pm
No extra care available
Ages 4 and older

Our 4th annual CHRISTMAS CRAFT CAMP led by our in-house creatives is an excellent opportunity for children to check off multiple boxes during this break. Campers reap the benefit of our normal camp program while making one-of-a-kind Christmas presents.

Through creative play we improve social graces, mealtime manners and help children develop an appreciation for common courtesies all the while making new friends and having fun.

Beyond the normal, high-energy camp schedule we are adding very festive and creative gift-worthy crafts to each day. Each child will have more dedicated attention and ample time for their craft! Campers will make their own presents for loved ones and take them home wrapped and ready to put under the tree. These will be cherished keepsakes that will have everyone oohing and awing over the attention to detail and creativi-TEA!

It is no secret interaction with peers is a key component to a well-rounded education and upbringing. This small camp environment allows children to enjoy the merits of a comfortable and safe setting for social interaction, hosted by caring staff. Manners Camp is an on-going skill building program, encouraging positive behaviors, responsibility and good old-fashioned fun. Lessons in etiquette and social graces along with arts, crafts and creative play for every age is a staple to each day.

COUNSELOR IN TRAINING PROGRAM (CIT)

This program is a wonderful addition to our Manners and Tea Camp and geared specifically for older campers who feel they have grown out of the normal camp but still enjoy the tearoom (11 years and older).

CITs take a more active leadership role in learning effective ways to interact with younger children, help with set up, cleanup and transitioning between crafts and activities. They have a behind the scenes view of camp and become part a valued part of our TEAm. CITs receive advanced training in the art of etiquette and social graces while also enjoying a spot of tea and all the other fun aspects of camp.

Staff will work with CITs to develop a more advanced approach to the skills we teach and model as well as review their progress and performance.

Please register your child for camp as you would normally but in the notes section mention you are registering as a CIT. We offer no more than two CIT position per camp.
