This year, Dall'Inizio DaySchool will be offering summer camp experiences for preschool and school-age children. Summer camp is a great way for kids to have fun, make friends, and be creative! With the right theme, each camp experience can be an exciting adventure that kids look forward to all summer. There will be loads of hands-on experience to help foster. From a science-based themes camp to a Music-themed camp, these themes will provide a unique and memorable experience for all campers! Check out our flyers and week descriptions available for download below. Camp will begin on June 8th with the last day of camp being on August 14th.

We have 10 weeks of adventures lined up for our campers! We will be out and about every day exploring the gifts of nature by visiting our local parks and nearby State Parks! Our school age campers will have field trips like Knoebels Grove, Millbrook Marsh, Penn State Ag Days and many more!

Our official camp hours are 8am-4pm with before and after care provided at no extra cost between the hours of 7:00am-5:30pm. Campers will need to bring a packed lunch daily as we will be out in the field. Please note that some of the field experiences will require an additional fee.
Priority enrollment will be given to children who enroll for the whole summer or most of the summer camp weeks. Enrollment information and forms will be available soon for download below. ELRC and United Way subsidies accepted!
At Dall'Inizio DaySchool, we provide a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for ALL children to learn and grow. Our experienced staff is dedicated to ensuring that each child feels valued and supported, and our curriculum is designed to promote physical, emotional, and intellectual development.
Because we embrace individuality, we tend to be a popular camp with children who have unique challenges of all kinds, and we truly embrace those children. We will make reasonable modifications in policies, practices, or procedures, when the modifications are necessary to afford services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations to individuals with any type of unique challenge or disabilities.
We are a seasonal summer day camp, therefore our abilities are limited. If your child has a one-to-one aide in a school setting, we require that your child also has a one-to-one aide in our camp setting.
The health and safety of every camper is our top priority. The A.D.A does not require a public accommodation to permit an individual to participate in or benefit from services, facilities and accommodations of that public accommodation when the individual poses a direct threat to the health or safety of others. If your child is physically aggressive with other children for example, alternative arrangements may have to be discussed. If your child is a flight-risk or a child who regularly elopes from the group, they MUST have a one-to-one aide to attend our camp. This is for their safety, as we travel outside of our building daily.
You know your child better than anyone else, and you will know the best way to help them be successful in summer camp. Always speak to a supervisor if you are having trouble with modifications.
Our school maintains an equal opportunity child care policy. Dall'Inizio DaySchool prohibits discrimination against and harassment of any employee, student or any applicant for employment or student because of race, color, national or ethnic origin, age, religion, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, veteran status or any other characteristic protected under applicable federal or state law. All personnel who are responsible for hiring and promoting employees and for the development and implementation of programs or activities are charged to support this effort and to respond promptly and appropriately to any concerns that are brought to their attention. Applications for enrollment are accepted without regard to race, religion, color, sex or national origin; consistent with the DC Human Rights Act of 1977.

While our summer camp is science based, we are also committed to encouraging our campers to be the change they want to see in the world! Our program strives to teach our campers how to be respectful, take responsibility, and to build self-esteem and self-confidence, not only in ourselves but in our fellow campers as well.
