Octoberfest !!!



Camp is quiet these days as the Summer 2010 season has ended, but that doesn’t
mean camp isn’t on our mind. We are already planning for 2011 and thinking of
new ways to keep July and August your favorite time of the year. So, how about a
little hint of Summer this Fall???

Please join us on Saturday October 2nd, from 1-3:30pm, for Stonybrook Day
Camp’s Octoberfest. There will be music, games, sports, arts & crafts, challenge
course activities, horse and carriage rides, contests and lots more. It will be one
part mini-camp experience, one part beautiful fall day. Refreshments will be served
and we welcome you to invite friends and family- Everyone is welcomed! Current
campers, alumni, prospective campers, fans of camp…..we hope you will join us for
what promises to be a great day.

EARLY BIRD!


EARLY BIRD!

While you are busy with back to school and getting ready to pull out the Fall clothes, Summer 2011 is most likely not on your mind. But we have a really good reason to think flip flops over boots and bathing suits over jackets….. It is time to lock in Early Bird Discounted Rates for Summer 2011! You must enroll by Sept 15th and pay in full by Dec 1st to receive the discounted rates.

2011 Tuition 8 Weeks at Early Bird Pricing

4’s $4,400*
K or 1st
Entering K or 1st grade in Sept 2011 $4,700

*Indicates regular pricing. Early Bird pricing is not eligible for the already discounted and completely inclusive (food and transportation) 3’s and 4’s full-day program. Because we worked hard to make this as affordable as possible, this is the lowest possible price and truly a great value.

There are some additional discounts that families may be eligible for (siblings and referrals). We also have pricing for less than 8 weeks and all of this information can be found on our website at www.stonybrookdaycamp.com

For the many families that have already sent in applications for Early Bird Pricing, THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING STONYBROOK DAY CAMP. We realize that you have a choice when it comes to day camp, and we are so pleased that Stonybrook is the right fit for your family.

For those families that have not yet sent in their Early Bird applications, we hope this reminder is helpful and you decide to join us for Summer 2011. Our upcoming season is already looking to be a fabulous time as we are busy with planning and program development. We hope your family once again chooses Stonybrook for a fabulously fun camping experience combined with a strong focus on safety and communication. As always, you are welcome to call Roger at any time with any questions re pricing, Summer 2011 or your child’s camp experience. Thank you!

Back to School


While we are busy with camp tours, planning for 2011 and Octoberfest preparation, we realize that all of our Stonybrook families and many staff are very busy themselves- heading back into the classroom! We are wishing you a wonderful start to the school year. Let it be a year filled with exciting learning experiences and many good times. Let it also be a year that brings some Stonybrook into the classroom.

Did your child leave camp a bit more confident because he/she mastered the zip line, excelled at a sport or learned to swim? Now that it is back to school time, how can that confidence continue to grow? This is a challenging question, but one that teachers work hard to embrace and tackle for their students. As parents we can think about using our kids time wisely; what activities really capture their interest and give them an opportunity to excel?

Did your child have a great summer when it came to their behavior because they could run and run and run and get their energy out in a very healthy way? Now that he or she will be back in a classroom setting, how can they stay on track? One camper in particular had this issue at school and his mom shared with us that camp allowed her to see the potential her son has; she doesn’t worry about him as much, but rather taps into ways he can keep moving and get his energy out in a productive way.

Did your child make some fantastic friends this summer, but they live in different towns? Sometimes it is a nice change of pace to break out of your normal routine and see a friendly camp face…. Plan a mini reunion for late fall or early winter! Plan to attend Octoberfest on Saturday, October 2nd.

As your child starts school, think about how to bring some Stonybrook into their school year… that is of course after carpool, lunches and schedules are set. And when things get hectic (and we know they will), try to think back to the ease of summer and slow down (if possible). Most importantly, have a great school year!
