As our 5 year old campers transition from Stepping Stones to Main Camp, they will begin to utilize our traditional-sized facilities while participating in enhanced athletic instruction, American Red Cross swim instruction/recreational swim, nature, music, creative & performing arts and many other exciting activities! Our 5 year old program also features a 'Mini Club' period which allows each group to select from a list of their favorite activities to participate in each day.

Our 5 year olds also participate in our unique, values-based, STARFISH program. The STARFISH program not only supports our camp's mission of teaching children the skills of making and keeping friends while building self-esteem; it creates a safe environment that makes accomplishing that mission possible. Our STARFISH program assists in teaching, promoting and recognizing the values of Sportsmanship, Tolerance, Appreciation, Respect, Friendship, Integrity, Sensitivity and Helpfulness.

Our 6 & 7 year olds take full advantage of our famous 'Club Elective' program on a daily basis, allowing our campers to customize their schedules with their favorite activities! Club options include our famous 'Showtime' musical theatre production, athletic clinics, innovative studio art projects, and many more! Campers also enjoy our full-sized facilities including two heated pools, an arts & crafts pavilion, tennis courts, soccer field, basketball court, baseball field, ga-ga courts, music studios, performing arts stage and much more!

In addition to participating in our great range of traditional activities, our 8 year old campers get the chance to experience the excitement and spirit of teamwork associated with our 'Sports Leagues'. Sports Leagues begin on an every other day basis, alternating with a SECOND 'Club Elective' period. League Teams are divided equally with emphasis being good sportsmanship and building self-esteem. Campers may also participate in one of our 'Showtime' musical theatre productions, cook, swim, dance, explore nature, and take advantage everything that our camp program has to offer!

At Hampton Country Day Camp, we recognize that our Seniors are looking for a more innovative and customizable summer experience so we give it to them! Our 'Club + Sports Leagues' program allows Seniors to tailor their summer experience for up to two hours each day. Additionally, Seniors have "Flex" periods in their schedule throughout the week which allow their group to once again choose between a list of available activities to participate in. In addition, all Seniors enjoy the privilege of venturing off the HCDC grounds on exciting day trips to local attractions and fun, off-site programs.

Hampton Country Day Camp & East Hampton Indoor Tennis (EHIT) offer a program for advanced tennis enthusiasts. Designed for campers in 2nd – 5th grades, AYP combines the best of HCDC and EHIT. Campers may participate 2, 3 or 5 days a week and will enjoy the traditional HCDC experience from 9:00am – 1:00pm, including lunch. The afternoon will consist of drills, clinics and games from 1:00pm – 3:30pm. The small group setting (maximum 4 campers per pro) allows more opportunities for serious players to develop their skills. In order to participate in the AYP program, campers must be signed up and paid in advance.

*There is an additional fee for the AYP Program and participation is limited so sign up early to ensure your child's placement in AYP.

Our Swim Program at HCDC is staffed by certified & experienced American Red Cross lifeguards and Water Safety Instructors, whose number one priority being the safety of our campers. Our Red Cross level Swim Program is designed to motivate campers to improve their swimming abilities. Most campers have two swims each day – one instructional and one recreational. Our swim instructors will send home your child's "Progress Swim Reports" to keep you updated on all of your child's swim accomplishments.

We will be offering private (30) minute swim lessons with our Red Cross certified instructors after camp between 3:45pm and 5:15pm. Since our busses will have already left, campers must be picked up after their lesson. To sign up online, login to CampInTouch, then click on Forms & Documents.
