★★★★★Mara BraloveOur sons love the baseball camp! The head coaches are great teachers, fun, inclusive, and totally dedicated to the kids. We will do it again for the third summer.
★★★★★Nicole JenningsWe loved Tennis Camp at Sidwell Summer. The instructors are wonderful, and it is a well run camp. My son had so much fun that he has asked to go for even longer next summer. Fun fact, I went to Sidwell Tennis camp when I was little too ◡̈. They have tons of different camps depending on your child's interest as well.
★★★★★Amanda Kramer BordenOur kids have really enjoyed both the Discovery Camp (when they were ages 5-9) and the specialty camps - fiber arts, woodworking, tennis, young diplomats, candy-making. Staff are really engaged and on top of things, and our kids adore them. It’s been easy to line up camps for our kids different interests - with makes summer days easier!
★★★★★Suzanne BermannMy children have attended Sidwell Summer for 4 years (spanning both pre- and post-Covid) and have loved it each time! It is one of the camps they continue to ask to return to - the perfect balance of learning and fun in a very supportive environment. They’ve explored a variety of offerings on both the DC and Bethesda campuses, including the traditional day camp, tennis, soccer, baseball, legos, coding, and young diplomats. And from a parent’s perspective it couldn’t be easier! The staff are extremely responsive and try to be flexible (having to pick a kid up early one day for an appointment, switching weeks or offerings, etc). The logistics of drop-off and pick-up are clearly laid out and easy to navigate. And with such a variety of offerings (including AM, afternoon, and full day), it is a particularly great one-stop option for families with multiple children. I couldn’t recommend it more highly!
