The Caedmon Discovery Camp
Our Groups
The Groups are divided by age, which determines the number of trips and the types of programs offered each week. All trips take place Mondays through Thursdays.
Ages 2.9-3 are the eager “Staten Island Frogs,” ready, willing, and able to explore their environment. This group will have a weekly in-house special activity. The Staten Island Frogs is our half-day group.
Age 4 is the fun-loving “Brooklyn Beavers,” who are ready to experience and try new activities. This group will have a weekly special activity and go one trip at the end of the summer.
Age 5 is the spunky “Manhattan Monkeys,” who love to climb and swing, run, jump, and play. This group will go on 1 trip every other week.
Ages 6-7 are the busy “Bronx Bees,” they are buzzing and bristling with excitement about their world. They will take 2 trips a week.
Ages 8-11 are the adventurous “queens Penguins,” always curious, and ready for adventure. This group will have 3 trips per week. Our newest camp program for the Queens Penguins is "Rookie Camp". The oldest campers will experience a week at sleep away camp at a premiere camp in Pennsylvania. The cost for week is an additional $650.
