2024 Dates:
Camp has one main session of 7 weeks from June 22nd to August 10th in 2024. We offer a half-season option for first-time campers going into grades 3, 4 or 5 from June 22 to July 20 with the option to finish the full season together with everyone. There is a “special magic” to full season camping, making a summer at Wah-Nee more powerful and significant—it’s the magic of time to deepen and strengthen friendships that last! There is one Visiting Day on July 20th.
Tuition:
Our rates are incredibly competitive—Wah-Nee offers top-grade facilities and programs at very fair pricing. New families should contact us for rates. We are a no-tipping camp as well! Every summer has early sign-up options for our families that offer excellent savings.
Rookie Days:
We will be announcing Rookie Days for Summer 2024. Please let us know that you are interested in joining us for one of these!
Other Optional Costs of Camp:
Baggage - Each summer we recommend a company that can take your child's trunks and duffels directly from your home straight to camp just before the season begins. Their charges are not part of tuition, and are optional. Some folks drive their gear to camp before summer starts.
Clothing - We are not a uniform camp, but do require some camp tee shirts and athletic wear for each camper. The required components come to around $350 per camper. We use Amerasport as our official outfitter, and you can link to their web site from here to see the selections.
Trips - All trips and travel are included in our tuition except for our 3-day, 2-night Senior Trip (for 9th and 10th grade campers). 11th grade campers go on an overnight trip to Newport, also not included in tuition.
Extra Lessons/Tutoring - Private lessons are available above & beyond those we provide as part of our regular program for those who wish to pursue a deeper immersion in tennis, soccer, baseball, basketball and other sports or specialty areas. 5 or 10 lesson packages are available where we carefully match a camper with one of our pros. Please inquire. Tutoring is available in reading and math for those families who choose it. All private lessons and tutoring sessions are done at "in-between" times that do not interfere with regular scheduling, so no camper misses anything!
Camper Demographics:
Our campers come from all over the U.S., the majority from Northeastern states like New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Pennsylvania. Many travel to us from Florida, Arizona, Texas and California and a good number come from abroad (Spain, France, Chile, Russia, etc.) There is no predominance by any one area or locale. We create our own demographic--we are Wah-Nee!!
