If you’re looking for stimulating, fun-filled summer camps for your son or daughter, we invite you to consider the enrich-ment opportunities available at William Penn Charter School. Our summer program, now in its 39th year, is committed to

providing exhilarating summers for children from age three to 18.The seven-week Day Camp offers variety and excitement while

building friendships and lasting memories. Swimming, tennis, archery, computers, team sports, art, music, a talent show and an end-of-camp fair are all part of this well-rounded program. Special themes, trips and guest performers vary the routine and keep the campers engaged.

Our evening, one-week Varsity Camps provide personalized instruction designed to help develop the skills that produce outstand-ing athletic performances. Offerings include boys basketball, girls basketball, softball, football, field hockey, boys lacrosse, girls lacrosse, soccer, squash and water polo. Under the leadership of Penn Charter’s varsity coaches, each program strives to provide a nurturing, chal-lenging environment.

This year we are expanding our summer offerings to include a one-week Enrichment Camp. Campers will spend the week engaged in fun, challenging and artistic activities that will stimulate their creativity. Activities may include cooking, chess, drama, dance, art, knitting, music, sports and games, science and engineering (building with K’NEX and Legos) and computers.

Also new this summer is a seven-week Sports Camp featuring eight sports: basketball, soccer, lacrosse, flag football, baseball/soft-ball, team handball, floor hockey and ultimate Frisbee. Choice sports include tennis, archery and volleyball. A free swim each day comple-ments the program. Daily instruction mixed with skill contests, game days, tournaments and guest instructors make this a perfect program for sports enthusiasts.

All programs take place on Penn Charter’s beautiful 44-acre campus in Philadelphia’s East Falls neighborhood. Participants have access to the school’s facilities, including seven tennis courts and separate fields for soccer, baseball, softball, field hockey, football and lacrosse. Indoor facilities include visual arts studios, a computer lab, three basketball gyms, a multipurpose field house and a newly renovated six-lane pool. On rainy days these facilities provide ample indoor space.

We encourage you to contact us for more information. It is easy to interchange weeks of day camp and sports camp, and by using our extended day program campers can stay later and then join one of our evening varsity camps. We are eager to assist you and your child by providing summer activities that meet each child’s individual interests and needs.

Penn Charter has provided an outstanding summer Day Camp program for 39 years. The camp is open to boys and girls ages three through 14 (younger children must be toilet-trained and

have completed one year of preschool).The fundamental purpose of the Penn Charter Day Camp is to pro-

vide a happy, productive summer for children. The companionship of peers and the leadership of trained counselors attuned to the physical, social and emotional needs of children enrich the experience.

Camp StaffCharlie Kaesshaefer, a member of Penn Charter’s Lower School

faculty who has been associated with the Day Camp for more than 35 years, is responsible for its daily operation. Assistant Director Chris Burnett is also a member of the Lower School faculty and has been teaching at the camp for more than 18 years. They are assisted by a qualified group of counselors made up of professional educators, college-age students and some high school-age students as junior counselors and counselors-in-training. The camp’s excellent staff is one of its greatest strengths.

Senior BunkThis program is designed for the experienced camper who is ready

for more challenging activities. Campers age 12 and/or entering

seventh grade (fall ’07) will enjoy this program designed for young adolescents. Offerings include traditional camp activities such as tennis, archery, computers, basketball and swimming, as well as a creative arts component and weekly trips.

Payment should be received before May 1, 2007. (Checks are payable to William Penn Charter School.) All campers must have a physical examination prior to camp. Specific information pertaining to a child’s particular sport(s) will be sent out two weeks prior to the camps’ start date.

2007 Enrollment Information for Varsity Camp

Enclosed is a medical form that must be completed for each camper and returned to the Summer Camps office before the first day of camp.

William Penn Charter School, the oldest Quaker school in the world, offers opportunities in academics, arts, athletics

and service for boys and girls from kindergarten to grade 12. Our 44-acre campus is a quick trip from Center City Philadelphia, its neighborhoods and suburbs.
