The Comprehensive Mom Audit
1. Program Focus & Daily Activities
Canoeing, Lake Zipline & Resort-Caliber Outdoor Facilities in Greenwich Backcountry. Designed for Ages 4 to 15. Stillwater Aquatics Camp's schedule balances lakeside & waterfront activities with enough free time that campers didn't seem over-programmed. Sessions run 2 to 8 Weeks, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM daily.
2. Aquatics & Water Safety
Daily heated pool time with certified lifeguard supervision. Instruction is real, if not especially rigorous.
3. Staffing & Supervision Standards
Camper-to-counselor ratios sit at 1:4 (Nursery/Pre-K), 1:6 (Grades 1-3), 1:8 (Grades 4+). Counselors are a mix of mature high schoolers and college-age staff, generally competent and attentive.
4. Logistics, Transportation & Catering
Bus service covers Greenwich Backcountry and nearby towns reliably, and carline moves at a reasonable pace. Lunch is nut-sensitive with a rotating hot option most days.
Tuition Range: $1470 – $1720 / week
👍 What We Loved
- Hot lunch is included and reasonably well-reviewed by campers
- Campus is clean with reasonable shade coverage for Ages 4 to 15
- Front-office staff answered our questions directly instead of deflecting
- Counselors were competent and attentive across every bunk we observed
⚠️ What to Consider
- Parent communication is functional but not proactive — you may need to ask
- Tuition ($1470 – $1720 / week) sits at the higher end for what's offered
- Carline can back up during peak drop-off times
