Older campers will have the chance to embark on exciting field trips during certain weeks, while younger campers will delight in visits from special guests like magicians or zoo animals. The entire camp comes together for special events on some weeks, including carnivals and water festivals.
In addition, campers swim twice a week at the Bryn Mawr College pool, just a short five-minute walk from camp. Swimming sessions are organized into two groups—grades K-2 and grades 3-5—with certified lifeguards ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
Nikki Wiseman, current fourth-grade teacher, is the Camp Director. If you have any specific questions about the Day Camp, please contact her at nwiseman@shipleyschool.org.

Give your child the gift of language in a fun, exciting, and immersive summer experience! Our Spanish or Mandarin Immersion Summer Camp is designed for kids going into kindergarten through third grade and provides a playful, hands-on environment where children will learn Spanish or Mandarin naturally through play, including games, crafts, songs, outdoor adventures, and much more! Children will build confidence in listening, understanding, and speaking Spanish or Mandarin through routines and activities. They will also learn about the rich cultures of Spanish or Mandarin-speaking countries through fun activities like dancing, cooking, and celebrating traditional holidays. Spanish or Mandarin immersion will happen each morning, and children in the program will join the larger camp for afternoon activities. They will also enjoy swimming and whole camp events. The Spanish or Mandarin Immersion Summer Program tuition is the same as the regular camp. Any families who have already signed up for camp can contact Nikki Wiseman directly to switch to the Spanish program.
