The Mom Verdict (Caroline & Brooke)

"Our visit to Maplewood Recreation Day Camp surfaced a mixed bag: promising programming undercut by staffing turnover and spotty communication."

The Comprehensive Mom Audit

1. Program Focus & Daily Activities

18 Shaded Acres of Sports Leagues, Swim Progression & Field Day Traditions in Westport. Designed for Ages 3 to 14. The traditional & multi-sport programming has real bright spots, but the daily schedule felt inconsistently paced during our visit. (per our Westport visit, est. 1986) 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 Westport visit, est. 1986)

3. Staffing & Supervision Standards

Camper-to-counselor ratios sit at 1:4 (Pre-K), 1:6 (Elementary), 1:8 (Tweens). The advertised 1:4 (Pre-K) ratio held up in some bunks and clearly didn't in others during our visit.

4. Logistics, Transportation & Catering

Bus routes serving Westport were inconsistent in our tracking, sometimes running 15-20 minutes off schedule. Lunch quality varied by day.

Tuition Range: $1540 – $1790 / week

👍 What We Loved

  • Campus has decent shade coverage, which matters more than it sounds (per our Westport visit, est. 1986)
  • A few families we spoke with in Westport had entirely positive experiences
  • When the 1:4 (Pre-K) ratio held, supervision quality was genuinely good (per our Westport visit, est. 1986)

⚠️ What to Consider

  • Communication was inconsistent — some updates, long silences other weeks (per our Westport visit, est. 1986)
  • Facilities show uneven upkeep — some areas well-maintained, others neglected (per our Westport visit, est. 1986)
  • Carline and pickup logistics were disorganized during at least one visit (per our Westport visit, est. 1986)
