Every camper’s schedule includes both an instructional swim period and a recreational swim period daily.
Our Red Cross certified swim instructors and lifeguards will guide and challenge swimmers of every ability as they advance their strokes and skills each day.
Our impressive Aquatics facility includes four heated pools, a splash park, water slides, diving board and water basketball. Our private lake is also available for campers to enjoy boating and fishing.
Within a supportive environment, campers of all abilities are challenged to improve.
Campers are split into small teaching groups with campers their age who are working on the same skills. Instructors stay with the same group every day, and ratios are typically 1:4 or better for our early learners and slightly larger for campers as they advance.
Every summer 90%+ of Gate Hill campers (including early childhood) pass the deep water test to use our diving board and water slides.
At Gate Hill Day Camp, our archery program is designed for children ages 7 and older. We have age-appropriate equipment and expert instructors to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all participants.
No prior archery experience is necessary! Our program is open to beginners and experienced archers alike. Our instructors are skilled at teaching the fundamentals of archery to kids of all skill levels.
Safety is our top priority. Our archery program follows strict safety protocols, including the use of safety gear, closely supervised activities, and comprehensive instruction on safe archery practices. Our instructors are certified in archery safety and first aid.
We provide all the necessary archery equipment, including bows, arrows, targets, and safety gear. Campers are welcome to bring their own equipment if they have it, but it is not required. We ensure that all equipment provided is appropriate for the age and skill level of the campers.
Archery is one of the many exciting activities offered at Gate Hill Day Camp. While your child can certainly participate in archery, they will also have the opportunity to explore a variety of other activities, including sports, arts and crafts, swimming, and more. Our goal is to provide a well-rounded and fun summer camp experience for every child.
We maintain a low instructor-to-camper ratio to ensure personalized attention and safety. Typically, there is one instructor for every six to eight campers during archery activities, allowing for individualized coaching and guidance.
We are committed to inclusivity and can make reasonable accommodations for campers with special needs or disabilities. Please contact our camp staff in advance to discuss any specific requirements or concerns, and we will work together to ensure a positive experience for your child.
