Is School Age camp right for my Kindergarten - 5th grader?

CDM sets the standard for developmentally appropriate practice, and we want your child to have a best-fit experience. Here are some signs that your child is ready for School Age Camps:

  • Your child is enthusiastically curious and can devote their attention to a multi-step process.
  • Your child is adaptable to new environments, able to express themselves verbally, and able to respond to verbal instruction and redirection.
What if our plans change?

We understand that things come up. Here is our camp cancellation policy:

  • 21 or more days before the first day of camp: 100% refund of camp registration fee
  • 8-20 days before the first day of camp: 50% refund of camp registration fee
  • 7 days or fewer before the first day of camp: No refund of camp registration free
