About
Everwood Day Camp offers activities such as canoe races, kayaking, a ropes course, a Zipline that sends kids cruising between hundred foot pine trees, and a Jello Tug-of-War. Campers take part in a morning assembly, learn to swim, and can choose from options like performing arts, pottery, and yoga. The program also includes creative experiences such as painting murals, running relay races, producing plays, and creating original camp songs.
Everwood Day Camp states that its mission is to create a community of belonging where everyone feels both welcome and celebrated, and to continuously strive to build a culture that is safe, equitable, and free from discrimination of any kind. The mission also states a commitment to recognizing and celebrating differences, encouraging open-minded and honest communication, and fostering social awareness, generosity, and compassion. The administration commits to regular reflection and evaluation of camp programs, policies, and procedures, making improvements where necessary, and working to ensure that every member of the Everwood community feels empowered, valued, and supported.
The camp culture is built around Five Star Points, which are described as the foundation of camp culture and embody five characteristics that reflect the social and emotional goals for campers and staff. These Five Star Points are integrated into staff training and evaluations, daily activities, special events, and bus rides, and campers and staff members know that the Five Star Points are what is valued most. The program includes an elective system that allows campers to focus on individual passions and interests, and independence is fostered by learning to take care of belongings and being away from parents during the camp day. Counselors are described as experts at acclimating campers to life at camp and making connections with others, and the camp acknowledges when campers do the right thing, such as playing a game by the rules or picking up trash even if it was not theirs.
Parent testimonials describe children having “an incredible summer of growth, fun in the sun, and happiness,” and note that counselors knew their child by name and were “looking out for him.” One parent reports that a child attended Everwood for the entire nine weeks after originally being signed up for five weeks, and another says their daughter came home “happy and fulfilled” and that counselors were empathetic and skilled in listening. A parent testimonial states that “Everwood checks ALL of the boxes” and calls Everwood “the home away from home you want your children to have this summer.” Staff testimonials describe gaining confidence, learning how to lead and teach a group of kids, and say that working at camp broadened their understanding of child care and education and solidified a dream of becoming a teacher.
