About
Squire Camps offers a wide range of activities, including cooking, swimming, robotics, computers, art, and photography. Campers can design a custom schedule from a list of over 50 courses within four distinct summer day camp programs. Hot lunches are provided for all campers, and kids receive an ice-pop as an afternoon snack, with options available for campers with gluten intolerance or other dietary needs, such as vegetarians, and nut products are not allowed on the premises.
• Schedule: Drop-off runs from 8:45 am to 9:15 am with early drop-off available starting at 8:00 am, and regular pick-up is at 3:15 pm; optional extended day care is available until 5:30 pm for an additional fee.
• Price: Extended day from 3:15 pm to 5:30 pm costs $150 per week in addition to regular tuition, and door-to-door transportation is available at $295 per camper per week.
Squire Camps is a family-owned business with a 53-year history of working with children, beginning in 1972 when John and Cynthia Davanzo started the camp in their basement in Pelham, NY. Over the years, the camp has moved through several locations, including Mariandale on the Hudson in Ossining, Mercy College in Dobbs Ferry, and the Master's School, before settling in its current setting in 2015. The program is described as an award-winning, fully customizable camp with “total choice” Advantage camps and sports camps for campers who are both academically and athletically driven and who seek new experiences in a well-structured and supervised environment.
The staff consists of qualified adults and schoolteachers rather than high school students, including New York and Connecticut State Certified adult coaches and teachers. The program maintains a camper-to-teacher ratio of 6:1 or less, and all campers are supervised at all times by an adult teaching staff that includes several RTE and First Aid Certified teachers and coaches, as well as a Registered Nurse. The camp states that instruction is of high quality with an emphasis on the growth of the individual camper, and it describes itself as using up-to-date educational methods, techniques, and ideas. Door-to-door transportation is available to most lower Westchester communities for an additional fee, and drop-off and pick-up are always located in the school driveway.
