It’s the most wonderful time of the year….. Day Camp Registration Season! The Day Camp is excited to announce its dates for our 56th summer at Chatham. We will be offering a six week session and two three week sessions. Cougar Camp will also be making a comeback in August. All curricula and programs are being updated and we plan to allow each camper’s creativity to soar to new heights!

Looking forward to January!

As the Day Camp’s 55th summer comes to a close, it is time to reflect on all the laughs and good times our campers had this summer. Many art projects were designed, instruments played and shows were put on. Each camper carved their own path here at Chatham, and all had a wonderful time.

A special thank you to the community for all of the continuous support. To those who send their children to camp and to those who support by all other means are all appreciated.

I look forward to an exciting 2011-2012 year, and will be working diligently to create wonderful programs for the community.

Well, the 2011 summer camp season will be here before we know it, and the day camp office is planning on using this blog to communicate special events and announcements as well as  a sort of interactive exchange with our day camp families.  To that end, this is time of year when we start planning the theme weeks and performance weeks.  We would like to be able to get the first two weeks of Friday theme days planned so if you or your campers have some suggestions please drop us a line via the blog and share them with us!   Some past theme days have included “Pajama Day”, “Pirate Day”, “Rock Start Day”, etc.

Also- we are looking at holding 6 week performances the final week of camp this year, as we have in years past.   The tentative schedule is Division 1 on Monday evening, Division 2 and 3, and Music in Motion performances on Tuesday evening, Music Recitals and Dance performances on Wednesday Evening, and Musical Theater and Drama on Thursday evening.    All performances will start between 6pm and 7pm.  If you have questions or suggestions please feel free to contact the day camp office via email at daycamp@chatham.edu

Greetings!  The Chatham Music and Arts Day Camp has decided to jump into the 21st century with our new blog!  This will be a forum for us to share information on upcoming events, pictures, updates, and for you the day camp community to engage with each other!  I encourage you to post questions, comments, pcitures of your own on this site.  As we get further along into the summer camp season I hope you will use this as a forum to communicate with us and each other! 

Finally, I wanted to share a couple of photos with you… We had a photographer come out this summer and take some fun candid shots of the kiddos, and here are a couple of good ones that are going to be used in some of our upcoming Cultural Trust and Pittsburgh Parent ads!   I will defintely be adding more pictures as we move along into the summer camp season!  Take care and I hope to talk to all of you soon!
