Our Vision
THINK DAY CAMP was founded with the goal of providing children with an intellectually stimulating summer program. THINK DAY CAMP offers a positive, nurturing environment where campers gain confidence in their ability to think deeply and articulate their ideas and opinions. Each week, through hands on activities, books, games, discussions, and inquiry projects, campers explore some of the most fascinating concepts related to the week's theme .
