Activities vary from basketball, soccer, tennis, and baseball, to capture the flag, four-square, cornhole, relays, etc., and there are some water activities too. (Over twenty different sports/games will be played each week!) Also, this camp features an incredible crew of certified teachers and high school/college counselors that are all highly charismatic, mature, nurturing, and responsible, and they each genuinely enjoy being with children. (There are 4 certified teachers and over 100 students on staff!) 

Background: Ben grew up in New Canaan, going through the public school system here, and graduated from Bucknell University, where he was a 2-year Co-Captain of their Division I tennis team. This is now Ben’s 18th year at Saxe, and he absolutely loves being a 7th grade language arts teacher and a member/advisor of numerous clubs and committees.
