If you’re looking for stimulating, fun-filled summer camps for your son or daughter, we invite you to consider the enrich-ment opportunities available at William Penn Charter School. Our summer program, now in its 39th year, is committed to
providing exhilarating summers for children from age three to 18.The seven-week Day Camp offers variety and excitement while
building friendships and lasting memories. Swimming, tennis, archery, computers, team sports, art, music, a talent show and an end-of-camp fair are all part of this well-rounded program. Special themes, trips and guest performers vary the routine and keep the campers engaged.
Our evening, one-week Varsity Camps provide personalized instruction designed to help develop the skills that produce outstand-ing athletic performances. Offerings include boys basketball, girls basketball, softball, football, field hockey, boys lacrosse, girls lacrosse, soccer, squash and water polo. Under the leadership of Penn Charter’s varsity coaches, each program strives to provide a nurturing, chal-lenging environment.
This year we are expanding our summer offerings to include a one-week Enrichment Camp. Campers will spend the week engaged in fun, challenging and artistic activities that will stimulate their creativity. Activities may include cooking, chess, drama, dance, art, knitting, music, sports and games, science and engineering (building with K’NEX and Legos) and computers.
Also new this summer is a seven-week Sports Camp featuring eight sports: basketball, soccer, lacrosse, flag football, baseball/soft-ball, team handball, floor hockey and ultimate Frisbee. Choice sports include tennis, archery and volleyball. A free swim each day comple-ments the program. Daily instruction mixed with skill contests, game days, tournaments and guest instructors make this a perfect program for sports enthusiasts.
All programs take place on Penn Charter’s beautiful 44-acre campus in Philadelphia’s East Falls neighborhood. Participants have access to the school’s facilities, including seven tennis courts and separate fields for soccer, baseball, softball, field hockey, football and lacrosse. Indoor facilities include visual arts studios, a computer lab, three basketball gyms, a multipurpose field house and a newly renovated six-lane pool. On rainy days these facilities provide ample indoor space.
We encourage you to contact us for more information. It is easy to interchange weeks of day camp and sports camp, and by using our extended day program campers can stay later and then join one of our evening varsity camps. We are eager to assist you and your child by providing summer activities that meet each child’s individual interests and needs.

The camp’s excellent staff is one of its greatest strengths.
