Shipley Day Camp

Shipley Day Camp, established in 1985, offers a timeless day camp experience that combines arts and athletics for children entering kindergarten through fifth grade. Campers can enjoy a variety of activities, including non-competitive sports and games, creative arts and crafts, engaging science and STEM projects, and fun drama and music sessions. Each week features themed adventures such as superheroes, magical journeys, beach bashes, animal explorations, camp survivor challenges, and a grand finale centered on unlocking their creative potential.
 
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
