Harvey Summer Programs includes several focused options such as Day Camp, Art Camp, First Grade Camp, Ninth Grade Camp, Circus Camp, Basketball Clinic, Volleyball Clinic, Hockey Camp, Cross Country Camp, Girls Flag Football, Baseball Skills Camp, AI Camp, Robotics Camp, and Infantry Lacrosse Summer Camps. Art Camp offers weekly art classes where campers paint, draw, sculpt, and explore the arts through different materials and methods. First Grade Camp introduces children entering first grade to the Harvey Day Camp experience and includes activities offered in the grades 2 through 8 programs. Ninth Grade Camp features age-appropriate variations on the regular day camp offering and includes weekly field trips. Circus Camp is a performance-based program for ages 7–16, with age-appropriate and level-appropriate circus skills taught in daily workshops and no prior experience required. Basketball and Volleyball Clinics are for beginner through advanced players in grades 6–12 to work on sport-specific skills and apply knowledge in game situations. Hockey Camp is for players ages 8–16 and focuses on hockey skills, friendships, teamwork, and inspiration from accomplished athletes, with attention to growth on and off the ice. Cross Country Camp is for runners entering grades 6–12 and uses the Harvey School’s 125-acre campus with varied terrain for training. Girls Flag Football is for girls in grades 1–8 of all skill levels and includes a week of learning, confidence-building, and friendships. Baseball Skills Camp is for ages 9–12 and is run on the Harvey School campus baseball field. AI Camp is for campers in grades 6–12, from beginner to advanced coders, and emphasizes ethical responsibility, career paths in artificial intelligence, and interdisciplinary applications. Robotics Camp uses VEX EDR V4, the same system used by many high school and college competition robotics teams, for campers entering grades 8–10. Infantry Lacrosse Summer Camps focus on serious skill development, competitive reps, and high-energy fun in a structured, positive environment for boys and girls of all levels.
Since 1916, The Harvey School has inspired students to pursue what interests them. Harvey’s summer programs celebrate the individual, allowing young people to develop their passions and consider new interests, and give campers the chance to try activities they may not be able to during the academic year. Under the guidance of professional educators and coaches, campers discover their talents and find what makes them unique, and the program states that there is “summer for everyone” at The Harvey School.
