Who thrives here Ages 6–11
Session 2B fits middle-elementary campers — old enough for skill-building to land, young enough that friend-group dynamics and counselor warmth still matter more than program rigor. Parents at this age band tend to prioritize a balanced rhythm of structured activity and unstructured play, which is the actual differentiator inside any given overnight/sleepaway program.

Frequently asked about Session 2B
- What ages does Session 2B accept?
- Session 2B is open to children ages 6–11. Camps publish their own age cutoffs, and some run mixed-age groups internally; check the registration page for that summer's grouping if your child sits at a boundary.
- How much does Session 2B cost?
- Session 2B publishes $2,275/week for the standard session. Could not find pricing information on the website. Final cost depends on session length, sibling discounts, and whether extended care is added on.
- What are Session 2B's hours?
- Session 2B runs 24-hour residential. If those hours don't quite cover your work day, check whether extended care or early drop-off is offered separately.
- Is Session 2B accredited?

- Who runs Session 2B?
- Session 2B is operated by a private business, with 99 years of operating history. The operator type matters for tuition policy (refunds, financial aid eligibility) and for what kind of staff training pipeline the camp uses.
- Does Session 2B provide lunch?
- Session 2B does not include lunch — campers bring their own. Most day camps without provided lunch are nut-free or nut-aware, so check the allergy policy before packing. Frozen water bottles double as ice packs and drinks; insulated lunch boxes hold below 40°F for about four hours.
