Glenelg Country School’s Summer in the Country has been offering quality summer programs for over 20 years. Situated on an idyllic 87-acre wooded campus, our summer programs provide children entering Pre-K4 through Tenth Grade with a fun and educational experience in a relaxed and safe environment. Carefully balancing fun and education keeps our campers returning year after year. 
 

Our camps offer a variety of activities and make use of the outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts, playing fields, shaded pathways, air conditioned classrooms, computer labs, athletic center and pond for scientific study. Our staff, assisted by junior counselors, are often members of the Glenelg Country School faculty or regional qualified professionals. The success of our camp programs is greatly facilitated by a camper-to-staff ratio of less than 10 to 1.

 

We invite you to explore our offerings for 2012 and we look forward to seeing you at Summer in the Country 2012 (June 18-July 27, 2012).
