ABOUT US

About Our Staff: Early Childhood Experts

Most of our Lead Counselors are experienced professional teachers. Some are Beauvoir teachers while others teach at the other distinguished schools in the D.C. area. All of our counselor assistants are recent high school graduates or college students who have a real interest in the education field. Every member of our staff approaches their job with your child’s welfare as their number one priority. We understand that when children feel safe they are ready to have fun and learn. Staff will take care of all of your camper’s needs, including providing a well-balanced lunch and a morning snack.

Our camps are designed to fit into the varied and busy lifestyles of today’s families. By offering our Before Camp Program and our After Camp Program we make it easy for you to create a schedule that works best for you. We even have an educational and exciting Counselor in Training Program for your “tweens and teens” so everyone can get in on the fun. Simply put, the Beauvoir Summer Program has the answer to your summer camp questions!
