The pristine campus of Chapin School Princeton 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 Stefanie Grossmann and I am the Co-Site Director at ESF Chapin Princeton. 2025 marks my 14th summer with ESF Summer Camps. In 2012, I started at ESF Lawrenceville as a Day Camp counselor, and through the years have held various roles including CPA specialist, Zumba specialist, Day Camp Support Specialist, and most recently, Day Camp director from 2018-2023. I received my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education and Mathematics from The College of New Jersey in 2014 and have since been teaching in a small PK-8 district in Hunterdon County.
