We Deliver in Quality.

Mountain Day Camp is more than just a convenient way for your kids to pass the summer. It is a complete, nature-based experience that provides high quality, intentionally designed programs under the guidance of exceptionally qualified and rigorously trained staff. Our goal is for all MDC campers to learn, play, explore, and connect with the world around them in an environment that is challenging, and fun!

• All MDC counselors are selected for their demonstrated and dedicated interest in youth development, their understanding of the needs of various ages of children, and their energy for interactive play. Many of them study in child development-related fields during the academic year.
• All MDC employees undergo a thorough interview process and criminal background check.
• All MDC employees have current CPR and First-Aid certifications.
• All MDC employees receive additional weeklong training in child development and risk management before the beginning of camp each summer.
• MDC directors provide ongoing professional education for counselors over the course of the entire summer.
• MDC directors and staff form relationships with all MDC camper families to promote good and open communication about each camper’s time at MDC.
• Small camper to counselor ratios mean more individual attention for each camper and a greater sense of community among campers and cabin groups, enhancing the quality of the overall camp experience.
• Although MDC is not a daycare, it is a state-licensed childcare provider. Childcare licensing ensures that MDC follows specific health, safety, staff training, and sanitization standards for the protection of all campers.
• MDC believes strongly in the value of ACA accreditation in demonstrating the safety and quality of any camp. MDC is ACA-accredited.
