CPSC Camps

“My third grader had a great time at drama camp. She loved helping to brainstorm ideas and create the costumes, and was proud to overcome her nervousness about memorizing lines. Her participation has spurred her interest in getting involved in theater in other ways. I was worried it might be tiresome for her to be at school during break, but having the school all to themselves seemed to have an appealing night-at-the-museum quality that she really enjoyed.”
— Sara Seten Berghausen

“I thought Olivia wouldn't want anything to do with school when it was out on intersession, but I was wrong when it came to Art Camp. She had a blast all week and enjoyed creating, but had the most fun making a paper mache spider and then recycling other materials to make a little habitat for it. So cute.”
— Leslie Stern

“My children found CPSC's Art Camp to be captivating, interesting, and flat-out fun. I was amazed by the wide variety of artistic media that was presented to the children. Every day at pick-up time, I was met with big smiles and they proudly displayed their creations. Staff was caring and nurturing, and being at the school without all of the other students created its own mystique! This was our first camp at CPSC, and it will not be the last!”
— Hannah Harvey

“Marilyn had a fab time. Days were full and productive, and I was always met with a groan when it came time for me to pick her up.”
— Phoebe Lawless

“You and your team did a great job providing a creative, educational and fun week for the kids. Madelyn said her brother Ben might not admit how much fun he was having, but they are doing some pretty cool things, and by the end of the week with his stump chair, he couldn't be happier. They both had a great week.”
— Susan Jakes

“Dixon absolutely loved camp. One day I told him I would be able to pick him up early and his response was ‘Oh man, why?’ We will definitely go back.”
— Nicole Harris
