GATOR GRAB BAG |
Morning and Afternoon Gator Grab Bag:
The Gator Grab Bag Program is the hallmark of Stone Ridge Summer
CampUs. This unique program allows campers entering Grades 2-8 to create their own camp
experience by choosing from a wide variety of classes which will
expand their horizons and give them a chance to discover a new
interest. Our campers can fit sports, the arts, science, and more
all into a single day. There are two class periods in the morning
and another two periods in the afternoon. Each class period is an
hour long, giving the camper plenty of time to explore the activity.
Our program sets itself apart from other camps through our use of
outstanding, experienced adult staff and small student-to-teacher
ratio.
We encourage our campers to take a variety of classes during the
summer. This is a great opportunity for a child to try new
activities. Campers may not take the same class twice in a single
session. If they want to repeat classes over several sessions,
please be advised that certain projects and topics may be repeated.
Our campers never get bored! Gator Grab Bag can be a half-day
morning program, or a full day of fun and learning. Our most popular
option is to combine the Afternoon Grab Bag with our Morning Sports
Academy or Tennis Academy. Pick-up time for half-day campers is
12:45 p.m.
Our Morning Grab Bag classes run from 9:00
a.m. to 11:30
a.m., then
campers have lunchtime from 11:30
a.m.-12:30
p.m. The Afternoon Grab
Bag begins at 12:30 p.m. and ends at 3:00
p.m.and must be combined
with another morning program to make a full camp day. There is no
“afternoon only” option or 12:30
