Friends Seminary, founded in 1786, is the oldest continuing co-educational independent school in New York City. Bordering Stuyvesant Park, Friends educates students in grades k-12. Quaker values and academic rigor combine to create an environment nurturing to both the student and the global citizen. From June 18-August 3, the Summer Friends Day Camps adhere to school values with a touch of summertime whimsy for children ages 3-11. Back by popular demand is We Are Three— Friends’ innovative half-day program for 3 year olds. This year, Friends also offers a Skateboard Camp, June 11-15 and July 9-13, for lower and middle school-aged children. Friends continues to offer its ever popular Four’s and Fun, Fives and Fun and its Creative Day Camp for children entering grades 1-5. Camp programs include individualized swimming instruction, creative arts workshops, Karma Kids Yoga, tennis, weekly drama, music and creative movement, exciting group games and sports, and dynamic and enriching field trips. To round it out, Summer Friends is proud to offer a camper-to-counselor ratio of 4-1 and 5-1. To accommodate working parents, Early Bird and Extended Day options are available. Attend for the summer or come for a week, but don’t miss out. Open House for parents is Tuesday, January 31 and Tuesday, March 6 from 5-7pm.
