Since 1982, our camp home has been located on the 30-acre campus of The Haverford School in Haverford, PA. The campus features state-of-the-art, indoor and outdoor facilities and provides the perfect setting for our camps. The extensive indoor and outdoor facilities allow us to offer our unique blend of activities, sports, and special events throughout the summer, rain or shine. From the moment you first arrive, you’ll feel the genuine passion, warmth and friendliness of our staff… and it permeates throughout the campus every day of the summer!
There’s a camp for every age and interest!
Difference
MAXJOY Moments Happen Here! ESF is a HAPPY PLACE where every child is free to explore their curiosity and power their potential. We guarantee that a summer at ESF will have a lasting impact on your child’s happiness, growth and personal development.
ESF Camps are run by the finest collaboration of educators brought together for premier summer camp experiences. Our Team possesses a deep commitment to the development of each camper while making a difference each day!
The pristine campus of The Haverford School is transformed into the ultimate summer playground! Safe and fun environments, with state-of-the-art facilities create fun-filled camp experiences, and the perfect setting to LEARN and GROW all summer long.
Swimming is one of the most exciting parts of the camp day. Under the guidance and watchful eye of our American Red Cross-certified lifeguards and instructors, campers develop life skills too valuable to measure while learning how to swim confidently in a safe and fun environment.
Over 60+ activities, special events and inspiring time-honored traditions are woven into the fabric of our camp life. From sports, arts, science, engineering and technology to life skills and leadership, ESF makes sure that our programs are innovative and impactful, summer after summer.
The fun and learning continue with ESF’s Club OT extended day program. Campers are divided into groups by age and enjoy specialized activities including sports, games, crafts, book club, drama, and more. Afternoon snacks and refreshments are provided.
Hi, my name is Suzanne Stachowicz and I am the Site Director for ESF at Haverford. Summer 2026 will be my 15th summer with ESF and my 3rd Summer as Site Director. I began working at ESF after earning my education degree at West Chester University as a Mini Camp counselor and then a Performing Arts Specialist. After teaching for over a decade, I then started working on the year-round ESF Executive Team running the after school enrichment programs at The Haverford School and also hiring Summer team members for our Pennsylvania region. I have been teaching dance for over 25 years at the same studio I learned to dance. The Arts have always been a passion of mine along with my love for animals. I still enjoy dancing, painting, and of course rescuing animals when I can. My biggest joy is watching our campers discover their passions throughout the summer and getting to be a part of that!
Rave ReviewsOne reason so many ESF families return summer after summer is our excellent track record of positive results!
