Careful, professional guidance by Laurel South's supervising staff goes into the development of each camper's program. Each age at Laurel South is treated differently. As campers grow older, they enjoy more choice in determining their individual program. All programs are individualized and each camper follows his or her personal schedule for each of the program days. Because Laurel South offers an unusually wide variety of activities with a great deal of depth of instruction, it is quite possible for older campers to specialize in one or two areas and receive excellent instructional help in these activities.
All campers participate in activities with other campers their age.
An individual schedule is prepared for each camper and is posted in the cabin. Program heads also have daily lists of campers that will be attending their program each activity period. Each camper has the option to change his or her schedule throughout the session. In addition to the regular daily schedule, there is a period at the end of each day for daily choice of activities. The IC period provides a natural break from the pattern of scheduled activities.
