Day Programs

Voyager Camps (Grades 6-9)


 

FaySummer Voyager Camps

Our Voyager Camp for campers entering grades 6-9 is an excellent opportunity for young adventurers to broaden their horizons. During the program, campers travel off campus for a new adventure every day. 

Time, Travel, and Staff
Voyager Camp runs Monday through Friday, and each day of the week campers go on a new adventure. Voyagers depart for their daily trips promptly at 9:15 a.m., and they arrive back by 3:30 p.m. in time for camp pick-up. If needed, Extended Care is available starting at 7:30 AM and as late as 6:00 PM for an additional fee. Voyager Camp is staffed at a 1:6 staff-to-camper ratio, and all trips are taken on professionally driven buses or Fay-owned SAVs (student activity vehicles).

Food & Valuables
Voyagers should bring their lunches from home in non-disposable, soft containers, which are kept in coolers until lunch. While Voyagers may bring money and valuables on trips, there often is not enough time to purchase items, and FaySummer will not be responsible for any lost valuables.

Voyager Camp: Service in Action

Voyager Camp: Service in Action is designed to engage campers in meaningful community service through a series of structured, daily volunteer experiences. Each day, participants will visit a different local organization to contribute to projects addressing areas such as environmental sustainability, food insecurity, youth enrichment, and elder care. By participating in a range of service opportunities, campers will broaden their understanding of community needs, cultivate empathy and civic awareness, and develop leadership and collaboration skills. The program aims to build on Fay’s core value of Dedicated Service and create a lasting commitment to service while providing students with purposeful, hands-on learning experiences beyond the school year.
