Hawklings: Hawklings Adventures Camp is a coeducational summer program designed especially for our youngest campers in preschool and pre-kindergarten (ages 3–4). Through a balance of play, exploration, and creativity, Hawklings invites children to imagine, discover, and grow in a safe and joyful environment. Our carefully designed, developmentally appropriate activities nurture curiosity, physical activity, and social-emotional growth while fostering a sense of community.
Girls Day Camp: Girls Day Camp is designed to inspire creativity, confidence, and friendship in a supportive, fun-filled environment. Each day campers enjoy a mix of activities—including sports, arts and crafts, dance, drama, music, field trips, and camp-wide events—that encourage them to try new things and discover their passions.
Boys Day Camp: Boys Day Camp is designed for campers who want to pack their summers with energy, variety, and adventure. Each day is filled with opportunities to play sports, get creative, make friends, and try something new. From arts and crafts projects to skill-building in a wide range of sports, to exciting field trips and Friday celebrations, every week brings fresh experiences and memories that last a lifetime.
Co-Ed Day Camp: The Co-Ed Day Camp combines the best parts of Boys and Girls Day Camps into one dynamic summer experience. Open to all campers entering kindergarten through grade 5, this program offers a balance of sports, arts, adventure, and creative expression. Each day is filled with opportunities to try new things, gain confidence, and build friendships in a supportive and spirited camp community.
Girls Lifetime Adventure Camp: The Girls Lifetime Adventure Camp goes beyond the scope of the day camp program, providing activities and experiences that are enjoyable and tailored to this age group. We aim to empower campers in developmentally appropriate ways by providing them with daily choices based on their interests in both the mornings and the afternoons. These choices will extend into our new Intramural Challenge, where campers will earn points in traditional and non-traditional sports, performance arts, cooking competitions, scavenger hunts, dance, and more. Campers will enjoy opportunities to connect with friends, old and new; tackle new challenges; hone their leadership skills; discover new interests; and develop a clear, confident sense of leadership.
Boys Sports Camp: Boys Sports Camp is the ultimate summer sports experience! Designed for athletes of all ability levels, this action-packed program blends skill development, intramural play, fitness challenges, and exciting field trips for a summer filled with competition, teamwork, and fun.
Each program is carefully crafted to inspire campers to grow, explore, and make lasting memories. Whether your child is looking for creative activities, outdoor adventures, or athletic challenges, Hawken Day Camp has something for everyone!
