The Summer Academy offers students a variety of options in two, three, four or five week classes to get ahead or strengthen their skills! Students are able to focus on one course at a time in a motivating and stress-free environment, taught by present or past GFA faculty members and use the school’s state-ofthe-art facilities. There are even courses available for Middle School students interested in GFA’s Signature Programs in Upper School! Best of all, most courses end at noon, so there’s still plenty of summer free time!

A TYPICAL DAY AT CAMP GFA

play. learn. explore.

Each day kids at Camp GFA move through three activity periods, led by specialists and camp counselors: Arts & Crafts, Athletics, and Nature Explorations. The age-appropriate activities focus on the developmental needs of each age group.

Campers bring their own lunches, and enjoy a fun-filled recess period with their group. After lunch, the group takes a little time to quiet down with activities like drawing, board games, reading, and story-telling.

Most days finish with a trip to the beach, where certified lifeguards are always on duty. However, one afternoon each week features a presentation from either the Maritime Aquarium, Discovery Museum, Rain Forest Reptiles, or Earth Place.
