The Comprehensive Mom Audit
1. Program Focus & Daily Activities
Ceramics, Open-Air Easels & Musical Theater Showcases in Old Greenwich. Designed for Ages 4 to 14. The fine arts, pottery & theater programming has real bright spots, but the daily schedule felt inconsistently paced during our visit. (per our Old Greenwich visit, est. 1968) Sessions run 2 to 8 Weeks, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM daily.
2. Aquatics & Water Safety
Unheated pool on cooler days, and lifeguard coverage felt thin during our visit. (per our Old Greenwich visit, est. 1968)
3. Staffing & Supervision Standards
Camper-to-counselor ratios sit at 1:5 (Early Arts), 1:7 (Master Studios). Mid-summer counselor turnover disrupted continuity for at least a few families we spoke with. (per our Old Greenwich visit, est. 1968)
4. Logistics, Transportation & Catering
Carline at Canvas & Stage Fine Arts Day Camp was disorganized during our visit, and we heard mixed reports on how consistently allergy protocols are enforced.
Tuition Range: $1170 – $1420 / week
👍 What We Loved
- Some specialty fine arts, pottery & theater programming stood out despite the overall inconsistency (per our Old Greenwich visit, est. 1968)
- Tuition ($1170 – $1420 / week) is more reasonable than comparable camps in Old Greenwich
- Campus has decent shade coverage, which matters more than it sounds (per our Old Greenwich visit, est. 1968)
⚠️ What to Consider
- The advertised 1:5 (Early Arts) ratio didn't consistently hold up in practice (per our Old Greenwich visit, est. 1968)
- Staff turnover mid-summer disrupted bunk continuity for several families (per our Old Greenwich visit, est. 1968)
- fine arts, pottery & theater instruction quality varied noticeably week to week (per our Old Greenwich visit, est. 1968)
