Summertime and Learning at Ranney School is Personalized, Rewarding and Long-Lasting

For many students, school concludes in June, but learning at Ranney School provides a year-round opportunity to explore an academic, creative or athletic interest and to discover the power of motivation and engagement when it comes to learning. Summer is also the perfect time to build the academic and study skills that will set your child up for success at the next grade level. Ranney’s summer selection of academic and talent development courses, including a full complement of gifted and talented and STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) courses for Pre-K – Grade 12 students opens up a world of opportunity and dynamic learning!

2013 Summer Programs at Ranney School highlight a wide range of exceptional academic, talent development and gifted and talented programming infused with 21st-century skill development, collaborative learning opportunities and technology, which serves as an accelerator to critical and creative thinking. Students are encouraged to approach new experiences inside and outside of the classroom environment and they build confidence in their ability to navigate school subjects, new challenges and social networks. Even our youngest learners – ages 4 and 5 – participate in specialized programming that is designed to build confidence by focusing on foundational skills: cognitive, psychomotor and social–all in the name of fun!

Our Day Camp, licensed by the state of New Jersey and accredited by the American Camp Association, has been the favorite of hundreds of families in Monmouth, Ocean and Middlesex counties for more than 30 years, and the school continues to offer innovative programs for children age 3 to grade 12. This year, Ranney is excited to offer a new Counselor-in-Training (CIT) program for 14-year-olds. This full-day CIT program will include special camp and trip activities, CPR training, and emphasize the development of leadership skills with themed work projects where accountability, collaboration, compassion, respect, responsibility and sportsmanship are practiced in camp interactions with children, peers and adults.

Day campers build strong friendships within their assigned groups, as they experience physical fitness challenges and specialized programming in science, nature, arts and crafts, sports, music and drama, among other fun activities. Each group is organized by age for additional swim and sports instruction, electives and weekly themed activities, including field and carnival days, climbing wall activities, talent shows, sports challenges and much more! Structured schedules are designed to provide individualized instruction as well as optimum social interaction, and our low camper-staff ratio ensures an exceptional and personalized summer experience.

Our exciting Sports Camps include a wide range of interests for boys and girls: Golf Camp for 6- to 10-year-olds and 11- to 14-year-olds; Basketball, Fencing, Soccer and Tennis for 8- to 13-year-olds; Boys’ Lacrosse for 9- to 13-year-olds and Swimming for 8- to 18-year-olds. Young and experienced athletes can focus on skill building in their chosen sport or they can try a new one at our top-quality Sports Camps this summer!

With no price increase for 2013 and additional cost-cutting benefits for new and returning families, there is even more reason to sign up early for a summer of exceptional learning and fun. Ranney is pleased to continue to offer one free week of Day and Trip Camp with your camp registration. Please note that a free Trip Camp week will include a nominal cost for trip tickets. Families who combine morning academic courses with afternoon Day Camp will qualify for a free week of half-day Day Camp incentive. New families to Ranney Summer Programs receive 10% off program costs with registrations received by April 5, 2013. Continuing family applications on our website reflect discounted pricing of 20%.

“Summer Programs at Ranney School are designed for students of all ages to personalize their summer adventures by choosing from a wide range of academic and talent development courses, Counselor-in-Training Program and Day, Sports and Trip Camps for a summer of exceptional learning, friend-building and self-expression,” says Ranney School Director of Summer Study Kathleen Deeken. “Come and discover the Ranney experience for yourself this summer.”
