Sessions

Clara Barton Summer Camp will run from Monday, June 23 through Friday, August 15, 2025. There will be four 2-week sessions as follows:

Session 1: “Architects & Builders”; June 23- July 3, 2025 (closed 7/4 for Independence Day)

Campers will learn about different buildings, and the materials and machines used to construct them. They will work with different media to design and build their own structures, and our resident naturalist will focus on animal architects such as beavers and birds. We will even have a presentation from two Architects who are also CBCC parents!

Session 2: “Let’s Go Camping!”; July 7-18, 2025

“Sleeping” under the stars is just the beginning for our intrepid campers! Equipped with magnifying glasses and binoculars, campers will explore our own grounds, go on hikes through the neighboring woods, and along the Cabin John creek, searching for rocks, bugs, birds, leaves, flowers, and other natural treasures. And, of course, a camping trip would not be complete without campfire songs and S’mores, CBCC’s version!

Session 3: “Young Chefs”; July 21-August 1, 2025

There are no half-baked ideas in this session as campers stir up culinary creations from fruit salad to muffins to smoothies and more! Children will learn about nutrition and healthy eating, and each week, the older classes will plan and make an afternoon snack to share!

Session 4: “Down by the Bay” ; August 4- August 15*, 2025

Campers will have a whale of a time exploring all the wonders of the ocean, including exotic sea creatures, coral reefs and shipwrecks. There will be lots of beach time for building sand castles, playing beach volleyball and searching for buried treasure. Get ready to celebrate the end of summer with a (sea)foam party!

*Camp closes at 12:30 pm on Friday, August 15
