The Dexter and Southfield Schools in Brookline offer what some parents call “one-stop camping.” For kids ages 3 1/2 through 15 and interests ranging from sports to drama, the Schools offer five camps in one, including some inter-camp combination choices. With seven school bus routes covering many towns around the Boston area, parents can put all their children on one bus and off they go to Day Camp, Science Camp, Hockey Camp Enrichment Camp, or Tennis Camp. The camps offer 8 weeks of program from mid-June to August. Depending on the program, prices range from $305 to $645 per week. Over 70 activities at the various day camps, depending on age group, can include model rocketry, astronomy, ham radio, electronics, LEGO robotics, yoga, stained glass, canoeing, theatre, fencing, archery, tennis, ice hockey, and swimming. Some of the specialty programs tend to fill quickly, so parents should make choices by mid-March. There are several open houses during the spring school vacation weeks, although private campus tours may be requested at any time.
