So happy to have Dylan back this summer!

Over the years, we’ve had many requests to add an extra week of camp following C session. We’re thrilled to say that plans are underway for a “week 7” (or D session) at Greenwood Trails from August 7th-13th!

We’re working out the details of what exactly we’ll be offering that week and we’d love to get your input. We’re considering the following awesome options:

1) In partnership with CodingKidz, offering in-depth instruction in computer coding or robotics
2) Specialty sports camp week
3) Three day campout trip for Delaware-aged campers
4) Regular GWT programming that your kids know and love
5) Campers staying over from C Session would have the option of attending a fun day trip on Sunday
6) A & B Session campers would, of course, have the option of returning for D Session as well

Our specialty week options would include 2-3 hours of specialized instruction each day (depending on the specialty), with the rest of the program being the choice-based activities that campers are accustomed to. Campers not choosing a specialty would have the entire day similar to the regular GWT program.

Please complete this brief 3-question survey to help form the best week possible for our campers. Even if you don’t plan on sending your child to D session (week 7), we would like to know your thoughts.

Thank you in advance for your help!

You may have already seen some of the pictures but we are so excited to announce that our upper field looks so shiny and new!  This fall, we installed a new Diamond-Tex baseball diamond for all of our softball and baseball fans.  We’ve also smoothed out and widened our go-kart track for enhanced driving enjoyment.  Here are some photos of our improvements:

Get the Bird Machine song here:

This summer, we learned an awesome dance called the Bird Machine.  Now you can teach it to all of your family members this Thanksgiving!  Get your family and friends to dance to the Bird Machine and post it to Instagram, Facebook or Twitter with the hashtag #GWTbirdmachine and we’ll repost it!  We love to see our campers and staff get campy in the off season!

Here’s a clip of a Bird Machine flash mob this summer to get you inspired:
