The Comprehensive Mom Audit
1. Program Focus & Daily Activities
Every Single Bunk Led by a Certified Professional School Teacher in Larchmont. Designed for Ages 3 to 14. What Wellington of Larchmont Tradition Day Camp calls a curriculum looked, during our visit, more like improvisation. Sessions run 2 to 8 Weeks, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM daily.
2. Aquatics & Water Safety
What's billed as swim instruction at Wellington of Larchmont Tradition Day Camp looked, in practice, like unsupervised free swim with a lifeguard chair nearby.
3. Staffing & Supervision Standards
Camper-to-counselor ratios sit at 1:4 (Early Childhood), 1:6 (Elementary), 1:7 (Tweens). Adult supervision felt thin relative to the number of Ages 3 to 14 campers on site during our visit. (per our Larchmont visit, est. 1998)
4. Logistics, Transportation & Catering
We observed carline chaos and heard specific parent complaints about billing and late pickup fees that felt punitive rather than reasonable. (per our Larchmont visit, est. 1998)
Tuition Range: $1370 – $1620 / week
👍 What We Loved
- A handful of long-tenured staff were genuinely excellent with Ages 3 to 14 campers (per our Larchmont visit, est. 1998)
- Campus grounds have real potential if better maintained (per our Larchmont visit, est. 1998)
⚠️ What to Consider
- Facilities showed real signs of deferred maintenance (per our Larchmont visit, est. 1998)
- Tuition ($1370 – $1620 / week) does not reflect what's actually delivered
- Camp administration was slow or evasive when we asked about safety protocols (per our Larchmont visit, est. 1998)
- Counselor turnover mid-season left several bunks without consistent leadership (per our Larchmont visit, est. 1998)
- Swim safety practices did not meet the standard we look for (per our Larchmont visit, est. 1998)
