Cross Roads 4 Kids Camp Wing  camp

Camp Wing Day Camp provides engaging activities in a variety of program areas for youth aged 5 to 16. With the guidance of our trained and supportive staff, campers explore their interests and build skills through instructional swim lessons, sports and games, team building with peers, archery, creative arts, and adventure activities including climbing, kayaking, canoeing, and ropes courses. Through their experiences at Camp Wing, campers build confidence and self-esteem, while developing their interpersonal and collaboration skills.

Camp Wing Day Camp Program Options

Grove Program
Serving campers who are entering kindergarten at the end of summer, and who are currently in Kindergarten. Campers must be 5 or older by the first day of their session.

Younger campers participate in smaller group activities throughout the day to offer them the additional support and supervision that they might need. Grove campers enjoy specialized activities geared toward kindergarten and first grade age groups.

General Camp
Serving campers completing 1-7 grade.

We offer an exciting variety of activities throughout the day. Our co-ed groups are coordinated by age, so activities can be tailored to meet the needs of all campers. The camp has three divisions: Forest, Ocean, and Jungle. Within the divisions, small groups of campers follow a pre-established, well-rounded daily schedule which offers the opportunity to try a variety of activities during the camp session. There’s also a chance each day for campers to select, with guidance from their counselor, a group choice activity period.

Leaders in Training
A leadership program for campers completing 8-10 grade.

The LIT program offers opportunities for teens to develop their leadership skills that can be applied as future staff at Crossroads, and beyond. LIT’s will also have the opportunity to shadow and support staff members leading activities in areas such as swim lessons.

Service Corps
For participants completing 10th or 11th grade and who are interested in working at camp (age restrictions apply).

Service Corps members are teens who have demonstrated strong leadership skills as well as a strong desire to work at camp. Campers complete a Crossroads Staff Application and traditional interview process and serve as ‘Junior Counselors’ throughout the summer. Service Corps are paired with full counselors and work on various activities.

The summer program nurtures creativity, curiosity, and peaceful exploration of particular themes.

 

Montessori-Inspired

– Independence, choice, and responsibility carry over into the Bay Farm Summer environment as we continue to inspire children with joy, purpose, and compassion.
– Bay Farm Summer emphasizes peace education and nature. Our structure encourages independence and freedom to move throughout our 9-acre campus.
– Mixed-age groups promote leadership and empathy.

You may recognize this year’s Bay Farm Summer themes, but the content and programming is going to blow your socks off this year!

That’s because this year, we’re inviting subject-matter experts to every single week to provide dedicated, engaging programs and activities to our campers.

While our themed weeks are oriented around specific themes and activities, they aren’t specialty camps. Instead, days are built around a core schedule with daily routines with large blocks of schedule dedicated to guest experts who will engage campers in a wide range of theme-specific activities.

Themes outlined below are for our Children’s House and Elementary campers. For information about Toddler House themes, check out the Toddler House homepage.

Check out the slate for this year:

MAKE & CREATE
Guest experts Jenny dos Santos and Cameron Golden will provide STEM and Arts/Crafts activities to invite Children’s House and Elementary students to explore fun, age-appropriate activities. From Coke/Mentos experiments to pebble painting, this session is sure to please.

Jenny dos Santos is a trained Art Specialist and currently works as a Lead Teacher in our Children’s House. Cameron Golden is a Plymouth County 4-H trainer and activity leader with a gift for exciting young minds.

DRAMA, MUSIC & MOVEMENT
Guest expert Rikki Churchill will join us to provide tumbling and gymnastics breakouts in our Great Room to teach your children some of the best ways to move their bodies toward self-expression. As well as being an Assistant Teacher in our Toddler House, Rikki has several years experience providing gymnastics and tumbling to children of all ages.

We are currently in discussion with a second specialist to offer several Performing Arts activities and will update as soon as details are finalized.

Guest experts from Duxbury Bay Maritime School will engage students in Children’s House and Elementary in age-appropriate aquatic adventures and activities, exploring the importance of our watershed, our natural ocean habitats, the life that inhabits them, and much more.

Our partnership with Duxbury Bay Maritime School has resulted in numerous wonderful after-school activities over the past three years and we’re eager to have their specialist instructors join us for Bay Farm Summer.

ON THE FARM
Bay Farm Agriculture Specialist Evelyn Golden will spend the week inviting campers to explore our connections to the natural world around us, through engaging one-of-a-kind activities and on-campus excursions to explore local plant and wildlife.

We are so excited to get started and we have a wonderful slate of guests to ensure that your children have not only a great basecamp for the summer, but that they explore the variety of experiences you’ve come to expect from a Summer program.

Stay tuned, we’re always on the lookout for pop-up activities and will be adding even more to our roster of guest instructors as we get closer to the start of Bay Farm Summer.
