Fun weekly themed day camps for ages 6-10

CAMP EXPERIENCE:

Day camps at Pennington feature full-day education and experiential learning activities. Each week follows a unique narrative based on a theme of the week that challenges each camper to do their best through a variety of athletic, academic, and art challenges based on that week's unique theme. Campers will have an opportunity to earn an end-of-week party, but they will be challenged by a character who will try to spoil the party plans. Campers can earn Red Hawk bands for special accomplishments, collect bottle badges for displaying core camper values, and make lifelong memories in a safe and fun setting! Campers are divided into groups by age, and activities are tailored to be developmentally appropriate for each group.

Camp Director

Vicky Santiago

Vicky Santiago brings passion, creativity, and energy to Pennington's Day Camp. With over twenty years of experience as an educator and youth coach, she is a fierce believer that kids' vital growth and development occur just as much outside the classroom as within its walls. That is, kids need time to play and explore, to take risks, and to try new things to discover their interests, develop their unique talents, and do what brings them joy. Vicky holds an MA in educational leadership from Seton Hall University and a BA in politics from Princeton University. She also completed Princeton's Teacher Prep Program, where she was awarded the Henry Drewry Award for her dedication to educational access. She currently teaches ninth grade, serves as a college admissions consultant, and coaches for Princeton Volleyball Club.
