What do we bring to cdm camp?

- A backpack with a change of clothes - artmaking can be messy and we want you to be comfortable all day!
- A lunch from home and a refillable water bottle (we are unable to heat up camper lunches).
- A daily "snacktivity" will be provided. If your child has food allergies, we encourage you to pack an extra snack. We do our best to accommodate, but we cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment.
- Camp registration forms if you do not submit them in advance.

Is Upper Grade Camp right for my 3rd-5th grader?

CDM sets the standard for developmentally appropriate practice, and we want your child to have a best-fit experience. Here are some signs that your child is ready for Upper Grade Camps:

- Your child is enthusiastically curious and can devote their attention to a multi-step process
- Your child is adaptable to new environments, able to express themselves verbally, and able to respond to verbal instruction and redirection
