The Comprehensive Mom Audit
1. Program Focus & Daily Activities
Canoeing, Lake Zipline & Resort-Caliber Outdoor Facilities in Wilton. Designed for Ages 4 to 15. Programming quality at Beaver Creek of Wilton Aquatics Camp seemed to depend heavily on which counselor was leading a given activity block. Sessions run 2 to 8 Weeks, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM daily.
2. Aquatics & Water Safety
Pool access is inconsistent — some weeks get real instruction, others are closer to unsupervised splash time. (per our Wilton visit, est. 1993)
3. Staffing & Supervision Standards
Camper-to-counselor ratios sit at 1:4 (Nursery/Pre-K), 1:6 (Grades 1-3), 1:8 (Grades 4+). Staff at Beaver Creek of Wilton Aquatics Camp lean young, and supervision quality depended heavily on which specific counselor was on duty.
4. Logistics, Transportation & Catering
Bus routes serving Wilton were inconsistent in our tracking, sometimes running 15-20 minutes off schedule. Lunch quality varied by day. (per our Wilton visit, est. 1993)
Tuition Range: $1470 – $1720 / week
