A Unique Social and Educational Experience Academics Camp Badger is proud to be the only summer residential camp in the country to offer an academic program under the auspice of the state education department. Our academic team consists of certified teachers from various backgrounds which include elementary education, special education and speech pathology. It is during this time that specific goals and objectives are created for each child. At the end of camp, each camper will have a progress summary explaining their academic growth as well as other areas of concern. This summary is carefully created using the input of all of our academic staff and teacher assistants.
Classes range in size depending on the summer enrollment each year.
Daily instruction is carried out and supervised by the teachers and their aids. Campers learn not only in the classroom, but in all other activities throughout the day. Each child learns important life skills, both personal and social. Every opportunity is used as a chance to learn something new. Our staff seeks out moments where campers can improve their life skills such as eating, showering, engaging in conversation, and basic hygiene.
