Powered by GoogleWe absolutely adore Summer at Hockaday! For the past three years, we've chosen to send our four children there. With both girls and boys, ages ranging from 10 to 5, Summer at Hockaday offers a diverse range of classes and the highest-quality day camp experiences we've ever encountered. Our kids eagerly anticipate returning to camp at Hockaday each summer. They relish the opportunity to explore new interests, make new friends, and savor the cafeteria lunches – often the highlight of their week! I can't emphasize enough how meticulously crafted and thoughtful each camp program is. The faculty and staff are not only kind but also incredibly knowledgeable and communicative. Our family's love for Summer at Hockaday runs deep, and we'll undoubtedly continue this tradition every summer!
A Summer to Remember at The Hockaday School! My kids, 8 and 2 years old, had an absolute blast spending their summer at The Hockaday School. My son enjoyed everything from cooking and biking to anatomy, math, and soccer camps! My 2-year-old especially loved the amazing childcare—she was always excited to go back! The environment is clean, safe, and packed with fun, and we’re already looking forward to trying out more camps in the future. Thank you, Hockaday, for making this summer so special!
My kids had the best time at Summer at Hockaday! This is the best run camp we have attended in Dallas. We loved the programs and my kids were so excited to go back each day. My son did both the Kinder Prep and the Pokémon camp. He loved both. He was so excited about the reading program for kinder prep and it really helped him improve! My daughter did Kaleidoscope and had the best time. She loved her counselor, especially her Hockaday high school counselor. Her favorite day was splash day!
This was our first summer in Dallas and enrolled in numerous summer programs. Every school was great, but Summer at Hockaday was definitely the family favorite. As a parent, I loved it for a number of reasons. - It felt very organized. Parents received informational emails, car tags, etc... prior to the start of camp. - Drop off was easy, and we enrolled in after-care, which was a breeze for pick up. - I really appreciated the safety measures taken by the school for campus visitors. - We also had the best interactions with all the staff helping with camp. - Depending on camp, lunch and snacks were included or available to add-on. My 4 yr old enrolled in the Kaleidoscope Day Camps and came home with a smile on her face every day. They had tons of high quality crafts and projects based on the learning theme of that week. She came home with a wealth of knowledge and even taught me a few facts! My 6 yr old boy, took a number of camps including Explorations, a sports camp, cooking camp, brain games, etc... He came home showing off his very cool inventions/robots, fun cookbook, and a newfound obsession with playing chess. If you're considering Summer at Hockaday, I truly cannot recommend it enough!
We cannot say enough about the Summer at Hockaday and the entire staff. We were genuinely impressed with the structure and well-rounded approach of the Kaleidoscope Camp. Starting with the educational activities around the camp's theme to the fun outdoor activities, our daughter had a fantastic experience. The camp leadership and the camp staff are phenomenal. Every member took time to connect with our little one and went out of their way to ensure she was attended to and comfortable. The entire Summer at Hockaday staff's limitless kindness, knowledge, and compassion have made an impression on us. We will be returning every Summer.
