Peconic Dunes 4-H Camp Jr Day Camp Grades 1-2 Summer 2016 at Peconic Dunes 4-H Camp in Southold, Suffolk County, Long Island, New York.
Shorter Day
Jr. Day Camp runs 9:00AM-2:00PM, allowing our younger campers to keep a schedule that fits their biological schedule. Enjoy a full morning of activities, lunch and an afternoon activity before returning home.
Age Appropriate Activities
Jr. Day Campers enjoy outdoor, arts, and science programming customized for 5-7 year olds. Activities change often to keep them engaged and having fun.
Trained Instructors
Most camps offer 1 week of staff training. Our staff dedicates themselves to learning for 2-3 weeks, in areas of safety, youth development and a specialized activity.
At Peconic Dunes we believe in the platinum rule: Do unto others as they would have done unto themselves. The only way we know how to accomplish this is with listening, the key ingredient to empathy and any great friendship. Every activity at Peconic Dunes works to build stronger relationships with cabin-mates, counselors and every other person in the community. The friendships we make at camp offer us welcome support whenever we are in the Challenge Zone.
Make Friends
One of our favorite traditions is t-shirt signing, when campers sign each other's camp shirts, a Peconic Dunes "year book." Roundup, kudos, Lakota circle, t-shirt signing, songs.
Be Healthy
Healthy minds work best with healthy bodies. Peconic Dunes has partnered with Cornell University on health studies to create healthier NYS 4-H Camps. We continually work to create a healthy balance of activity, nutrition and rest. Everyday our entire community gets a mid-day siesta and when we are not relaxing we are playing. Meals are cooked from scratch on-site so we can ensure quality ingredients and meet the needs of most dietary restrictions.
Learn
"Learning by doing" has been the 4-H mantra since 1902. Jr Day Camp offers 15 activities covering a range of topics so our developing scientists, artists, leaders, sailors, athletes and outdoors people can all find something they like best. Our instructors will work with your child and help them set a personal goal; to aspire to do something she or he's never done before. All activities are 1-hour, and instructors regularly offer different challenges during the period to keep campers engaged.
