The Comprehensive Mom Audit
1. Program Focus & Daily Activities
Water Sports, Kayak Obstacles & Shaded Waterfront Pavilions in Old Greenwich. Designed for Ages 4 to 15. The lakeside & waterfront programming has real bright spots, but the daily schedule felt inconsistently paced during our visit. (per our Old Greenwich visit, est. 1969) Sessions run 2 to 8 Weeks, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM daily.
2. Aquatics & Water Safety
Lifeguard staffing at Stillwater of Old Greenwich Lakeside Academy looked adequate on the schedule but thin in practice when we counted heads at the pool deck.
3. Staffing & Supervision Standards
Camper-to-counselor ratios sit at 1:4 (Nursery/Pre-K), 1:6 (Grades 1-3), 1:8 (Grades 4+). Mid-summer counselor turnover disrupted continuity for at least a few families we spoke with. (per our Old Greenwich visit, est. 1969)
4. Logistics, Transportation & Catering
Bus routes serving Old Greenwich were inconsistent in our tracking, sometimes running 15-20 minutes off schedule. Lunch quality varied by day. (per our Old Greenwich visit, est. 1969)
Tuition Range: $1510 – $1760 / week
👍 What We Loved

- We heard mixed reports on how allergy protocols are actually enforced (per our Old Greenwich visit, est. 1969)
