Welcome to Plymouth Meeting Friends School's Greenhill Day Camp!
We are so excited that you are interested in learning about our brand
new Camp. Located in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania, on the beautiful campus of
Plymouth Meeting Friends School (PMFS), Greenhill Day Camp was created with you
and your children in mind. At
Greenhill Day Camp we believe that summer experiences for children should be fun, enriching and affordable.
Greenhill fees are all inclusive with no add-on fees for before camp care and
after camp care. Snacks, lunches, trips, and specialty classes are also
included in the Camp’s weekly rate. In addition, you are not locked into
purchasing more than one week at a time. You can register for the weeks that
fit your family’s schedule.
A Day in the Life at
Greenhill Day Camp
Every morning, following our free before camp care, the Camp
day officially starts with a fun all-camp assembly with our director Drew
Jennings. Following a greeting and schedule for the day, campers head out into
their smaller groups to a range of exciting activities. Each group will have a
physical education class full of fun and challenging cooperative games. In
addition, each group will have an art class that may meet outside in the cool
morning hours to take advantage of PMFS’ beautiful campus. After snack, the
groups rotate to their third morning activity which is a themed activity that
is offered in two week blocks. The themes range from science and cooking to
outdoor skills and computers.
Our campers then enjoy lunch. At Greenhill, we think you
deserve a break from packing lunches, so we provide healthy, tasty lunches every day -- AND it's included in the fee!
After lunch, our campers have a brief period of down-time
with their friends before heading less than two miles down the
road by bus to the next activity. Our campers will arrive at the Greater Plymouth
Community Center where they will enjoy a two-hour free swim block in the most
amazing pool in the area. Full of slides, sprayers, and plenty of shallow areas
for beginning swimmers, campers will cool off and play under the watchful eyes
of their counselors and the pool staff.
Upon returning to Camp each camper can select a different
enrichment activity each day. We
have active options such as soccer, golf, and tennis; academic options such as reading, writing and chess; and more
relaxed selections such as yoga, drawing and K’nex.
At 4:30 pm the regular Camp day ends and most of our campers
go home to rest up for another exciting day. Free after camp care is available until
6:00 pm. After camp care is unprogrammed, supervised time, designed to be a relaxing end to a very active day.
