As your Camper Grows - So Does our Program!
Blue Rill proudly develops programs that grow with your child - programs that expand to meet the social and physical needs of each age level. Our youngest campers, Sprouts, are three or four years old and are grouped together by age. Campers entering kindergarten through ninth grade are grouped together with children entering the same grade. Each division is comprised of two or more grade levels.
Blue Rill campers return each summer, anticipating the excitement and additional fun that the next division offers. Special events, shows, sports academies and leagues, crafts, specialties clubs and trips – all perfectly designed for each age group!
Our
Sprouts bubble with excitement as they explore all that Blue Rill has to offer.
Three and four year old campers love “Sprout Central” – the ultimate home base for our pre-school campers. Sprouts love to play basketball, tennis, soccer and t-ball on perfectly sized courts and fields, and enjoy their own special area for crafts, imaginative play and fun! Of course, Sprouts enjoy activities all around camp, including pony rides, nature and explorers. Sprouts are supervised by adult group counselors, carefully chosen for their love and understanding of children. Sprouts choose from two terrific programs; a full day (9-4), or a mini day (9-2) – our sensational program is the perfect way to nurture the campers as they grow and prepare them for new adventures in the Freshman Division!
| Freshman Division campers: Our fabulous Freshman campers, entering kindergarten and first grade, enjoy all aspects of Blue Rill. From basketball to bumper cars, cooking to crafts, and science to soccer, Freshman are always smiling. Sports academies, gymnastics and karate are just some of the activities where skills are developed and the fun never ends. Campers use their imagination at storytelling and our many craft projects. Senior counselors in the Freshman division are experienced adults who focus on fun and friendship, while keeping safety as their top priority. |

New and challenging activities thrill our campers entering second and third grade!
Sophomores can’t wait to get to our ropes course and rock walls, wearable art, mask and jewelry making and outdoor adventure programs. The action never stops with the incredible offerings in our club program, sports clinics and leagues. Swim skills continue to progress and improve with daily instruction. Our program develops social skills, fosters an understanding of sportsmanship and teamwork, and builds camp spirit among Blue Rill friends.
From archery to lacrosse, ceramics to dance, or capturing the best of Blue Rill at digital photography,
Juniors love each and every day at camp. Designed to meet the needs of these growing and maturing fourth and fifth graders, the Junior division programs focus on fun activities, challenging sports and sensational special events. Added to our already comprehensive schedules are off-site trips – a special addition Junior campers always look forward to.
Sixth through ninth
graders build lasting friendships and memories while participating in fabulous activities in and out of camp.
Seniors love games of water polo, softball and basketball competitions, and special events like the Super Senior Slide Show, the end of summer Beach Party and the Senior Dinner Dance. Our oldest campers are offered fabulous day and overnight excursions to the best destinations in the Northeast as part of our popular optional trip program. Senior campers recognize the importance of cooperation, respect and friendship, values that prepare them for their next step up to Blue Rill’s leadership training program.
Tenth graders are eligible to interview for spots in our Counselor in Training Program. It's a great way for teens to move from "camper" to "leader" status at a camp where we care as much about our staff members as we care about our campers. CITs develop leadership and interpersonal skills as they learn the importance of being a positive influence in the development of children. Will they become future Blue Rill Staff members? We hope so. Our CIT program is the first place we look! |
