Community Connection: Oakland School Summer Camps

For 75 summers, Oakland School in Troy’s day and sleepaway camp has been a destination for young learners who want to supercharge their academic skills and grow in confidence, combining academics with the joys of traditional summer fun.

At Summer Camp at Oakland School, kids can dive into nature on a 450-acre farm, saddle up for riding lessons, practice their swimming skills, and engage in field sports, archery, and art activities—all while attaining just under 60 hours of phonics, reading and writing, and nearly 25 hours of math instruction in personalized, small classroom settings.

For those seeking an immersive experience, their summer boarding program is designed to foster independence, teamwork, and lifelong friendships – while enhancing organizational and executive functioning skills.

They welcome you to join them for an upcoming Open House event to discover firsthand how Oakland School and Camp can help transform your child’s academic journey.
