The full development of the individual, a characteristic aim of the Riverdale Country School, is emphasized and encouraged throughout the summer. The camp practices the C.A.R.E. program of the Lower School. The summer program is designed to increase the existing skills of the boys and girls, to arouse their interest in new fields, and to expand their interpersonal relations, as well as to provide healthy recreation. The Program Groups are limited to approximately twenty children and are led by qualified trained counselors, with emphasis on individual attention.
