Varied programming is the goal of The Wilson School Summer Camp. We expose our campers to creative and physical activities that are much more diverse than what is possible during the regular academic year. We group children according to age and anticipated grade level. All camp activities are geared to specific age-appropriate development and interests. The camp is operated by an educator and a talented team of Wilson faculty and college-age counselors. Every child’s safety and nurturing are our primary concerns. A balanced program provides for planned activities and free leisure time. The Wilson School is located conveniently in a residential area off Wydown Boulevard between Big Bend and Skinker Boulevards in Clayton. Founded in 1913, the school is fully-accredited and educates children three-years-old through sixth grade.
