Specialty Lower Camps
Specialty Lower Camps allow campers from Kindergarten to fourth grade to customize their camp days based on their interests. Rising Kindergarteners and first graders can spend their mornings at Day Camp and choose from specialty camp options for their afternoons.
Morning, afternoon and full-day specialty camps in athletics, art, engineering and more are available for campers entering second through fourth grade. (See offerings for campers entering fifth through eighth grade here.) Weekly schedules will also include outdoor time, water play, sports, games, and other activities.
Families who register a camper for two half-day camps (morning and afternoon) during the same week will get $45 off their full-day price. (Discount does not apply to full-day camps or off-campus programs.)
During the holiday week of June 30th, join us for Quest for the Cup, a full-day program that brings campers of all ages together for joyful, exciting competition. And for the last week of summer, Summer at Gordon hits the road to head to Mother of Hope in Chepachet, RI. Read more about these camps below.

Quest for the Cup
Nursery to eighth grade
8am-4pm June 30th to July 3rd (no camp on July 4th)
Join us for four fun days filled with engaging team-based games, activities, competitions, and missions with one goal in mind…to secure the Golden Gordie Cup! Campers will be placed into groups based on their grade levels. Within each of these groups, campers will be further divided into color groups. In our daily activities, campers will bank points for their color groups. Points can be earned in so many ways–team spirit, cooperation, scoring a goal, completing a mission, solving a puzzle, helping others, and more. Campers will work together indoors and outdoors–all across Gordon’s campus–as they earn points for their colors and support their friends along the way. We’ll track each color’s point totals throughout the week and announce the group with the most points at the end of the week in a camp-wide celebration. Only one question remains…campers–are you ready to conquer the Quest for the Cup?!? $320 (full day)
