Assistant Director - Extended Care

Kingswood campers explore Cranbrook's 319-acre campus of playing fields, woods, rivers, lakes, and gardens. They participate in a full schedule that includes swimming, music, sports, drama, arts, yoga, dance, science, nature, archery, canoeing, and tennis. These opportunities provide time for growth and emphasize cooperative team efforts. Field trips and events add to our camp experience. At Kingswood, diversity is celebrated, and personal talents are nurtured by exploring a wide variety of unique cultural, educational, and enrichment activities. It is a time for campers to explore, make new friends, and have fun together! For more information regarding all the camps, please click here: Cranbrook Schools Day Camps at a Glance
