Camp : Programs and Activities

Programs and Activities

Creativity and Imagination
Budding artists will be able to express their creativity through painting, drawing, sculpting, building, sewing, and cooking.  Arts & crafts is an important part of every group at Evergreen Camp. Just wait and see what masterpiece your child brings home!

Games and Sports
Group games and non-competitive sports are an important part of the Pine Cones and Tall Trees programs.  Duck, Duck, Goose; Red Light, Green Light; and Hot Potato are some Pine Cone favorites.  The Tall Trees love Sharks & Minnows, Freeze Tag, and modified sports.

At Evergreen our sporting activities are designed with the child’s developmental level in mind. The Redwoods are ready for the beginning of group sports, as well as group games, and will often decide the sport of the day/week depending on the dynamic of the group of children. One week the group may focus on soccer or basketball, while the next week the group may lean toward more non-competitive group games.

The Sequoias’ sports element is an integral part of their program. The Sequoias focus on one sport for the week – soccer, basketball, floor hockey, and other games.

The sports program at Evergreen Camp is based on positive involvement and fun!!!!

Swimming
Fun at the pool is an important part of our program. The Tall Trees, Redwoods, and Sequoias swim three days a week, and the Pine Cones swim twice a week. We swim at Kenmont Swim Club in Kensington, MD, which is 5 minutes away from our campus. Each group swims for an hour in the morning before the club opens to its members.

Teacher-led instruction is given to the Tall Trees, Redwoods, and Sequoias twice a week, and there is plenty of free swim time as well. The pool is well supervised by our teachers and the club's lifeguarding staff. The teachers interact in the pool with the children, as well as, supervise from the deck. In addition, there always are two trained lifeguards on duty.

The Pine Cones swim in the gated baby pool area. All of the Pine Cone teachers stay with the children. There is an opportunity for the Pine Cone children to get into the main pool one-on-one with a teacher for some assisted swimming. There are also plenty of water toys to play with and a splashing good time to be had!

Technology, Creativity, Knowledge
Computers are a part of the Redwoods and Sequoias program. Each group has the opportunity to use the fun and educational software, as well as supervised internet exploration with the teachers.

Move to the Beat!
Our music program is designed to give the Pine Cones and Tall Trees groups a beginning understanding of musical instruments and rhythm and beats. This program is all about fun: musical games, songs, movement activities, introduction to musical instruments, and musical instrument crafts.

Exploration and Discovery
Each group goes on a fun-filled field trip to a local area attraction once a week. Every field trip is tailored to fit each group’s age and skill level, combining both educational and fun elements throughout the summer. We travel to our destinations on seat-belt equipped buses.
