Hello Laurel Day Camp Families!
Happy New Year!  We hope that you are all doing well and have had an enjoyable holiday season!
Typically, each year in January we open enrollment for our summer camp.  This year, we will be waiting to open enrollment until the early Spring in hopes that we will have more answers as to what the summer camp season and program will hold this year!
We know this has been a challenging year for everyone, and not opening for summer 2020 was a difficult decision for our community.  We are really looking forward to welcoming campers back to Laurel this year!  
We will keep everyone updated when more information becomes available for Summer 2021!

Our Mission
We promote honesty, respect and kindness while providing a sense of community to give our campers confidence in a loving and safe environment where they can play, create, and learn all day! Our mission is to foster self-esteem and confidence, inspire a lifelong love of learning, a cultural appreciation; and, an environmental sensitivity and awareness where each child develops into a self-starter, an original thinker, and a perpetual learner. We emphasize cooperation, laughter, thoughtful resolution, positive reinforcement, tolerance, and an acceptance of difference. 

​That is the Laurel Day Camp way.

"The Laurel Day Camp was our first experience with an American summer camp and our first summer at the Cape. Everyday my son came home happy and excited about Laurel Day Camp. There were enough boys his age (8/9 years) for him to bond with and form great friendships with. The specific activities were spot on. He totally enjoyed them and loved kayaking. The counselors were kind and energetic and he truly enjoyed the youth CIT counselors. Every evening he could not wait for camp to start again. I loved the positive energy that I encountered every day when I brought him to camp. Both Amy and Courtney are always there with a smile and a very positive attitude. It was wonderful to be able to walk in and help him put his stuff in the locker, say hi to the different counselors and watch him meet up with his buddies. I felt a great sense of community during camp. I was able to meet some of the other parents/grandparents and arrange play dates and exchange phone numbers. Lost items were always handled with genuine kindness, understanding and professionalism. I would highly recommend Laurel Day Camp to other parents." - Camp Parent
