Summers at Albrook
Camp Information 2022
The Albrook School has air-conditioned rooms, two heated in-ground pools, extensive playgrounds, Montessori trained teachers, experienced lifeguards, and swim instructors. A trained teacher instructs each program.
Children must be 4 years old to attend the summer camp, and all campers must be completely toilet trained. If your child requires daily medication or has a life-threatening allergy, please check with the office before registering.
Each camper will have a swim lesson in our heated pools each morning. Full-day campers will also have a free swim in the afternoon. A morning and an afternoon snack will be provided. Full-day children bring their lunch. We will provide one special lunch each session for campers who attend full days. The Albrook School Summer Camp strives to be a nut-free environment. Food that contains any form of nuts may not be brought to camp. We follow strict CDC virus mitigation strategies and Bernards Township Health Department safety protocols.
