About
Hayground Camp offers activities such as four square, ga-ga, spending time in the Loop Lounge, working in the garden, building and racing go-karts, leaping off the trapeze platform, tasting a carrot picked with their own hands, and rehearsing for the Follies. Campers make choices every day and design their summers based on the passions they want to follow, and the camp follows the lead of its campers. The program includes a kitchen–garden continuum that connects gardening with food preparation as part of a curriculum of playful learning and education through experience.
• Ages: 3–13 years old
• Schedule: Mini Camp, Lower Camp, Middle Camp, and Upper Camp groupings
Hayground Camp was founded in 1996 as a fundraising arm for Hayground School and began at the Watermill Center with a barn, a baseball field, a greenhouse, and a few dozen campers. Hayground School broke ground at 151 Mitchell Lane in September 1998, and Hayground Camp joined there in the summer of 1999, with Jeff’s Kitchen added in 2002. The camp organizes its program into Mini Camp for ages 3–4, Lower Camp for ages 5–6, Middle Camp for ages 7–8, and Upper Camp for ages 9–13, and it welcomes all families and accepts registration for children between the ages of 3 through 13. The leadership team includes Doug Weitz, Daniella Charlton, Janella Walker, Gabe Butler, and Jody Davis-Mitrea. Hayground Camp was founded as a fundraising arm for Hayground School, a small private school with a public mission. A packing list, medical form, and emergency contact form are provided as resources for families.
