The Staff

Our enthusiastic, dedicated and loyal staff are the heart of our program.  Many return year after year, providing continuity and mature, caring leadership.  This translates into a warm, happy, safe environment for our campers.  Many of our senior staff are professionals, and all staff participate in an extensive pre-camp training program which includes emergency procedures, safety positive discipline techniques and leadership training.

Pools: We offer two beautiful swimming pools. One pool has a diving section, a lap lanes, and a beginner pool. The other pool is strictly for non swimmers.

The children will enjoy daily morning swim lessons and a free swim each afternoon. The pool is staffed by certified instructors.

Health and Safety

The number one priority at Pilgrim Day Camp is SAFETY.    

We keep the ratio of campers to staff members low at all times.

A full-time nurse is employed, and Program Directors

are given appropriate safety training in their specific areas.

The Program

Pilgrim Day Camp offers a varied and diverse program, meeting the needs of all our campers. Time is made available to campers to participate in non-scheduled special activities of their choice, such as additional sports or crafts, taking part in a play, or helping plan special theme days.

Units/Ages

Campers, ages 3 to 13, are divided into age-appropriate co-ed units. The children are place according to their age as of June 1st. They are not placed in groups according to their grade level.

The youngest child must be at least three years old by June 1st. You may request that your child be placed with one special friend who must be the same age within a few months. Both children must request one another. Every effort is made to accommodate your request, but this is not always feasible and cannot be guaranteed. Your request must be in writing at the area specified on the Registration Form. Requested changes are subject to our guidelines and availability.

NOTE: Children must be completely toilet trained to be accepted to camp.

UNIT PLACEMENT: you will be notified of your child's assigned unit after June 1st.

Unit Staffing

The staff for each unit consists of: a Unit Leader who is frequently a veteran staff member, often a certified teacher; Senior Counselor(s), age 17 and older, often college students; and Assistant Counselor(s), age 15 and older. We maintain a low camper to staff ratio in all groups. The staff members do not leave the children in their unit unattended at any time during the day.
