Summers at Durham Academy are a time of fun, exploration, creativity, learning and adventure. Our unique summer programs offer kids an opportunity to delve deeper into activities they are already involved in or try out something completely different. Over the years, I’ve watched kids come through DA summer camps and discover new passions, create amazing works of art, meet new best friends and experience the joy of learning.
For us teachers, it is also an exciting time as we get to spend our days on interests that we are passionate about but don’t always have the time to share with the kids during the school year. Teaching summer camps is also a great way for us to get to know the kids we work with on a different level and find out what really makes them tick and gets them excited about learning.
On top of all the wonderful enrichment and athletics camps offered, we also run a variety of academic camps designed to help students who want or need to spend extra time on math, language arts or foreign languages. These camps are run by some of the best independent school teachers in the area and redefine what it means to be in summer school.
Whatever you are looking for, Durham Academy Summer Programs is sure to deliver. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have and I look forward to seeing you this summer!
Sincerely,
Dan Gilson
