Program Description

The Linden Hill Summer Program provides a balance of academic work and traditional camp experiences.

During the afternoon, campers enjoy many traditional summer camp activities. Each week, campers select two activities they would like to participate in from social, recreational, and cultural options. In addition to the two elective periods, campers get a daily free-choice period. Campers work to improve their skills and develop confidence in each of the Linden Hill School activities.
