The Comprehensive Mom Audit
1. Program Focus & Daily Activities
Individual Artist Studios, Fashion Design & Creative Mentorship in Chappaqua. Designed for Ages 4 to 14. Programming quality at Curtain Call of Chappaqua Fine Arts Day 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
We saw genuine swim instruction on one visit and largely unstructured pool time on another — consistency is the issue, not capability. (per our Chappaqua visit, est. 1993)
3. Staffing & Supervision Standards
Camper-to-counselor ratios sit at 1:5 (Early Arts), 1:7 (Master Studios). Staff at Curtain Call of Chappaqua Fine Arts Day Camp lean young, and supervision quality depended heavily on which specific counselor was on duty.
4. Logistics, Transportation & Catering
Bus routes serving Chappaqua were inconsistent in our tracking, sometimes running 15-20 minutes off schedule. Lunch quality varied by day. (per our Chappaqua visit, est. 1993)
Tuition Range: $1570 – $1820 / week
