The Wellington School Summer Camp

Welcome to a world where children can fine-tune their rhythm, tune into their athletic prowess, and tap into ample creativity - welcome to The Wellington School's summer camp. This is neither your ordinary recreation retreat nor your typical performing arts abode. It is a blend of both worlds, a symphony of sports and theater, orchestrated harmoniously under one roof. At Wellington, the emphasis is on building foundational sports skills while fostering a love for the arts. Children in the lower school get their first taste of coaching-led sports and performing arts; an introduction that sows the seeds for enduring, passionate hobbies. Uniquely, the no-cut athletics policy ensures every child has the chance to partake in any sport of their choosing - a canvas for them to test and taste different activities. As children graduate to middle school, they delve deeper, guiding their focus along the fine line between participation and competition – a balance that, when mastered, can transform a hobby into a pursuit, and a pursuit into a passion. With over 80% of 7th and 8th graders participating in a sport, this program is clearly not a flash in the pan. In the welcoming echos of the upper school's varsity games or in the sonorous melodies of theater productions, older students have their gaze set firmly on excellence. Here, kids don't just play – they perform, be it in the lights of the musician's stage or under the sun in an athletic duel. With a stimulating environment crafted by seasoned coaches and athletes, young participants are well-equipped for seamless transition into varsity sports or a lifelong admiration for the performing arts. The Wellington School's summer camp is for those adventurous families looking to straddle the worlds of sports and performing arts. Now, isn't that music to your ears?
