The ESF Summer Camps has officially moved its summer program to the Chapin School after 27 years at the Lawrenceville School.
The move to Chapin School Princeton will be for the summer of 2020 and for the foreseeable future, according to ESF officials.
“ESF is committed to designing one-of-a-kind experiences filled with exciting programs, special events, and great learning to ensure optimal impact on a camper’s growth and development,” said Michael Rouse, executive director an co-founder. “We’re excited to move to Chapin School Princeton, which will fulfill the growing demand for our cutting-edge and customized camps.
“Our convenient, new location will give campers exclusive access to the school’s extensive facilities, while elevating our overall mission of youth development. We’re excited to enter into this new partnership with Chapin School and can’t wait to deliver our portfolio of award-winning camps and enrichment programs, threaded with character-building curriculum to boys and girls, ages 3-15 this summer,” he added.
ESF is national summer camp organization that designs its camps and programs for character development.
The Chapin School facilities, where the camp will now take place, sits on a 14.5-acre campus with more than 90,000 sq. ft. of learning spaces. The school also has a full-size gymnasium, an indoor and outdoor rock wall, athletic fields, maker spaces, science and technology labs, playgrounds and a garden.
Officials said ESF is planning to build a brand new four-lane, outdoor pool, to provide for additional Red Cross certified swim instruction and recreational swim for campers.
“The Chapin School Princeton community is excited to officially welcome ESF’s nationally-recognized summer camps to our campus. At Chapin, we strongly believe that developing our students’ character is just as important as providing a quality education,” said Head of Chapin School Barbara Pasteris. “ESF’s longstanding commitment to positively impacting youth with their unique curriculums is what makes this partnership synergetic. We’re thrilled to welcome ESF Camps and experiences to our families for years to come.”
Early enrollment has already begun for the summer of 2020, according to ESF officials.
