Digital Vision Campers explore the tools necessary to

complete fun, and sometimes silly, tasks all

before time runs out on the clock. Ready, set, go!

Express Yourself Let your hidden talents shine! Campers

develop creativity and confidence through

singing, dancing, acting and more.

Rise Up Dream it. Build it. Wreck it. Repeat! Campers

build elaborate objects, structures and vehicles,

while exploring fundamental principles of

engineering and physics.

Domino Tricks The game of dominoes is fun, but we have a

little twist in store for our campers. We are

challenging campers to come up with their best

domino toppling tricks.

Recycled Beautifully Our campers will see how one person's trash

can be another person's treasure by turning

recycled materials into beautiful and useful

items.

collaboration, decision making, and innovation.

in their communities, and find creative ways to

give back to those in need.

old fashioned fun. They’ll have a blast building

their skills in a variety of indoor and outdoor

games.

Food for Thought Campers learn kitchen fundamentals and

culinary techniques as they slip on their aprons

and create yummy snacks. They'll be a master

chef in no time!

Master Maker From painting, to sculpting, to drawing and

more, campers are empowered to express their

inner artist and let their imaginations soar.

Rising Kindergarten

Transitional Camp

Transitional Camp Philosophy For children of all different backgrounds, the transition from a pre-school program into an elementary education program is an extremely exciting time! Students experience a sense of pride, wonder, and energy as they begin their journey into Kindergarten. However, with that excitement, many students also experience feelings of nervousness or uncertainty as they are not quite sure what to expect moving forward. Will Kindergarten be scary? Will they know how to do the activities? What will the teacher expect them to do? The fundamental philosophy behind our transitional camp is simple: we want to help rising Kindergarten campers reach their first day of elementary school with a sense of confidence. We want them to feel confident in themselves, their abilities, and most importantly, the opportunities that await them in Kindergarten and beyond!


Camp Structure In order to simulate a Kindergarten environment, our transitional camp is structured very similarly to our elementary camp program. Kindergarten campers will participate in the following activities typically reserved for our elementary camp programs:

• Elementary level activity stations • Daily free swim sessions • Access to the Innovation Lab (with video games!)

In addition, transitional campers will also participate in 3 off-campus field trips! The weeks and destination of these field trips are listed below:

Week 2 – Regal Cinema 20 Week 4 – Marbles Museum Week 8 – Bounce U

Although we pride ourselves on providing rising Kindergarten campers with the opportunity to participate in elementary level activities, we still recognize that it will take time for them to adjust. As such, our transitional camp utilizes the following pre-school concepts:

• Daily rest time in their homeroom classroom • Smaller group size to allow for more individualized attention • Activities that allow for more free exploration rather than fully

organized instruction

Extreme Camp

Extreme Camp Structure Warning - this camp is EXTREMELY fun! Campers in rising 5th through 8th grades will have a blast as they travel throughout the Triangle area participating in daily off-campus field trips and activities. Extreme campers will also enjoy the benefits of our elementary age program, including on-site free swim sessions, structured activity blocks, access to the Innovation Lab (with video games!), and the option to participate in both the catered lunch program and the weekly specialty camp programs.* Every morning, Extreme campers will check in with their counselor and eat a quick snack before embarking on their journey for the day. Once they return, campers will eat lunch, enjoy time at the pool, and participate in one to two activity stations.

*Due to scheduling, Extreme campers enrolled in specialty camps will not be able to participate in daily field trips as they are both conducted during the mornings*


Daily Field Trip Themes Every day, Extreme campers embark on a field trip throughout the Triangle area. Our field trips are structured to follow the following daily themes:

Mondays – Outdoor Recreation and Picnic Lunch • Activities include Bond Park Low Obstacle Course, Orienteering, Nature

Hikes, Disc Golf, and Paddle Boating • Campers will be able to choose their own lunch option off a modified

menu from a local restaurant (TBD)

Tuesdays – Arcades Adventures • Destinations include Buffaloe Lanes, Frankie’s Fun Park, Dave and Busters,

Adventure Landing, and more! • Campers will participate in group activities and at some destinations, will

receive a budget for games of their choice

Wednesdays – Museum Exploration • Destinations include the NC Museum of Natural Sciences, Marbles

Museum, NC Museum of History, and the Museum of Life and Science • Campers will enjoy both free exploration and structured group activities

Thursdays – EXTREME Activities • Destinations include Triangle Rock Club, Jump Street, Pump-It-Up, Defy

Gravity, and Hard Knocks Laser Tag • Campers will have free choice to choose which allocated activities they

want to participate in at each destination

Planetarium, AMC Classic Blueridge 14, and more! • Campers will receive a movie snack pack at each theatre

Swimming Activities

On-Site Free Swim Sessions As part of our Elementary and Extreme camp programs, all campers will have the option to participate in four days of scheduled free swim sessions at our on-campus swimming pool! Before participation, all campers are required to complete a swim test to ensure their safety while in the pool. Campers who are not able to complete the swim test are still welcome to enjoy their swimming time but are required to wear a lifejacket as a an additional safety precaution. During all free swim sessions, campers are under the direct supervision of two certified lifeguards, as well as their group counselor. In addition to regularly scheduled free swim sessions, we also offer additional Swim Lessons for our campers.


On-Site Swimming Lessons Get your child swimming this summer with targeted swim lessons conducted by our certified lifeguards! Whether your child is new to the pool or has significant experience swimming, our lessons are structured to develop each individual’s personal abilities. Our swim lessons follow a proven, sequential curriculum to meet your child where they are and accelerate their swimming ability forward. Due to the small class sizes, each camper is able to receive significant one-on-one instruction with one of our lifeguards, allowing your camper to get the most fun out of each lesson.

Registration is conducted in 2-week increments. Lessons are scheduled from Monday through Thursday and are weather permitting. If inclement weather causes a cancellation, we will attempt to schedule a make-up session on Friday of that week but make-up sessions cannot be guaranteed.

Aquatic Safety Here at Chesterbrook Elementary, student and camper safety is always our top priority. As such, all aquatic activities are directly monitored and supervised by our two certified lifeguards. For any questions related to aquatic safety, please speak to our Camp Director, Mr. Josh Liptak.
