WT Summer Camp Rocks!
The WT Summer Camp Crew is eager to share another season of learning, growth, and fun with campers ages 3-18 at both WT’s City and North Hills Campuses. The dedicated and creative team of 30 faculty, 15 Upper School and Middle School Counselors, and 10 WT Alum instructors and support staff are anticipating and preparing for one of the best summer seasons in WT history!

In addition to current students, WT was honored to host over 1,700 campers from 109 different schools in 2013. Campers traveled from Florida, Maryland, New York, Michigan, Ohio, and even China and Ghana to experience the magic, challenge, and fun of summer enrichment programming at WT.

“We are so proud of the quality and originality of WT’s camp programs. Our teachers and support staff do so much to make each camper’s day – every day! We hope that every camper and camper family member will leave our campus each day with a smile, new knowledge, new talent and a great new memory,” states Dionne Brelsford, Director of Programs.

Three-year-old campers have the opportunity to come to WT for their first camp experience in the 3LittleBears Programs. Pre-school and early childhood campers can experience the magic and happiness of Teddy Bear, Dr. Seuss, Super Why, Curious George, and Dinosaur Train Camp. Lower School Students can learn to be a Jedi Master, graduate from Harry Potter Academy, create in the kitchen at WT’s Mini-Chefs Global Kitchen, explore explosive chemistry in Kaboom Jr. and Sr. Camps, design original works of art in our studios, and learn how to do archery, kayak, cycle, golf, and get up close and personal with horses and riding in Saddle Club Camp.

Middle School and Upper School Campers can improve soccer and golf skills, form a rock band and play at the Hard Rock Café, learn to parkour, cycle over 100 miles, participate in scale modeling, skateboard, learn Latin, and perform monologues.

Solid partnerships with quality organizations such as WQED/PBS , Venture Outdoors, C-Mites, Mad Science, Bruster’s Ice Cream, and Cedar Run Farms (just to name a few) have made a world of difference for WT. The power of these partnerships allows for WT’s faculty to bring the best “wow factor” to our campers while maintaining quality, creative instruction to enhance the experience.

WT will be offering over 200 unique and challenging themes (60 of them are NEW!) to campers between June 9 and August 8, 2104.
