ESF Haverford - Junior Camp - Calendar 2026

SWIMMER? ARTIST? ATHLETE?
HAVE WE GOT A CAMP FOR YOU!

A camper’s summer experiences should be as diverse as their growing interests. With a variety of hands-on activities for curious young minds, it’s a time for exploring, creating, discovering, and eye-opening, with endless opportunities to uncover talents and forge new friendships. Led by dynamic and experienced adult staff, campers are grouped by grade levels, each with a wide array of exciting, age-appropriate programs and activities.

Rising Kindergarten, First and Second Grade Campers are industrious, enthusiastic, inquisitive, and creative. Making new friends, being on a team, and engaging in dynamic activities is now more important than ever. In addition to all of the fun-filled Junior Camp programs, we have added Club/Choice Period, and many new traditions and specialized, age-appropriate activities to campers’ schedules.
