a typical day

Since we do so many great things and since different age groups of campers have different programs, there really isn’t any such thing as a “typical” day at Super Duper Arts Camp. Depending on the age group, the schedule, number of activities and structure of the day will vary to some degree.

That being said, there are some things that we all do to together and some things that all programs have in common. Overall a “typical” day at Super Duper would be something like this...

Morning

Each morning at drop-off, campers begin the day in their group's designated drop-off area, which we call “Home Base”. Here, they will check in with their counselor and warm up for the day with some games, drawing or just hanging out and playing with their friends.

This allows campers to settle in before the day begins and for us to make sure all campers are present before we begin our activities for the day.

*depends on age group

Then, at about 9:15, counselors lead their groups to the auditorium our all-camp morning gathering. Here, we welcome all campers, go over daily announcements, acknowledge birthdays and get campers fired up for the day by singing our camp song and ushering in the day with each group belting out their group’s unique cheer. Counselors then go over the schedule, agenda and goals for the day with their campers and each group sets off on their day of fun.

Schedule & Activities

Once the day begins, each group has a set schedule of activities. Each age group has a different schedule structure and set of activities. (Click here to learn more about the different programs).

Generally speaking, we have about 4 or 5 activity periods per day, plus snack & lunch time, when campers get a break from the structured activities and have free time to play or hang out with friends. Each activity is led by a teacher or specialist IN ADDITION to the counselors assigned to each group.

For our younger campers, we have a range of activities that vary from twice a week to once every two weeks, with art being the only activity we have every day. Older campers and JCITs also have activities that vary from day to day, but they also have Specialty Program activities each day where they work on larger, cumulative projects over time.

End of the Day

At the end of the day, each group returns to their Home Base to wrap up the day with their counselors, collect their belongings and get ready for pick up. Campers signed up for carpool line pick up are escorted out the carpool line pick up area, while other campers await pick up or check into Extra Fun Crew.

Special Days

While Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays generally follow the same structure, we also have days where special days where the schedule is changed up to make room for special activities. Wednesdays are Swim Day and Fridays we are on our Fun Friday schedule. Field Trip days, for our JCITs and older campers, are on Thursday, every other week.
