Overview
Tucked away in the heartland of Bloomfield Hills, Camp Cranbrook is the proverbial canvas where children paint their summer adventures. With a smorgasbord of over two dozen camps and summer programs, it's a paradise for curious minds, from kindergarteners to college freshmen.
For the young Da Vincis and Van Goghs, an advanced art program caters to middle schoolers and high school students. Here, they can dip their brushes into the world of fashion design, graphic design, architecture, and photography. For those intrigued by the mysteries of the cosmos and the natural world, science camps offer explorations into astronomy, physics, and ecology, or even a peek into the thrilling realm of crime scene investigation.
Cranbrook isn't just about academics. A theater camp, a writing camp, and a beginners art program form an artistic trifecta for the creatively inclined. Sports enthusiasts can dive into the athletic conditioning camp, swimming camp, or baseball camp. And for the musically gifted, a jazz camp coached by professional performers awaits.
Beyond these specialized programs, there are also recreational day camps. Here, kids can dabble in everything from canoeing to archery, and even crafts. More than just a camp, Cranbrook is a vibrant community where children can forge new friendships, develop new skills, and bask in the warmth of a summer spent on a beautiful National Historic landmark campus. Indeed, Camp Cranbrook is less of a summer destination and more of a childhood memory in the making.
