The summer Daycamp at Southampton College is a unique experience for children between the ages of five and twelve. The camp utilizes the special environment and talent found only in an academic community such as Southampton. Activities include programs in art, computer science, marine science, sports, swimming, and drama. Summer activities at the Kindercamp include arts and crafts, swimming lessons, storytelling, imaginative plays, dances, adventures in our outdoor playground, and field trips to nature preserves, farms, beaches, and places of special interest. Each year Southampton College of Long Island University offers a series of programs in marine science, environmental science, drawing and writing for students entering their junior or senior year in high school.
Students live and study in an academic setting for one week while attending the high school program.
Courses are taught by Southampton College professors and students receive 24-hour a day counselor supervision. Upon successful completion of the program, students are awarded a certificate of achievement.
