Camp Description:
The Hun School of Princeton provides a five-week academic session or five-week ESL program. From June 30th to August 1st, courses are available for credit or enrichment in a variety of subjects including Algebra I, Algebra II, Pre-Calculus, Geometry, American Literature, English Literature, Reading and Writing for 9th and 10th graders, SAT, biology, physics, and chemistry. We offer four courses for middle school age students (grades 6 to 8). They are Creative Writing, Literature, Pre-Algebra, and Math Fundamentals. Students may also attend as a day student. Classes are small, between four and fourteen students in each class. We provide excellent instruction and an extra-help period built into the daily schedule. An afternoon activities period is also available for day students an an extra charge. A morning snack and lunch in included in the tuition. Students must be age 13 to board.

The American Culture and Language Institute (ACLI) provides English instruction (grammar, writing, reading) in the classroom. Students in the ESL program are immersed in English through classroom instruction and trips to New York, Philadelphia, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and Washington D.C. Students in this program can be age 11 and be a day student. However, the boarding age for this program is 13.

Students must be age thirteen to reside on campus. Activites for boarders are offered after the academic day and include facilities in our new Athletic Center incuding a free weight room and fitness center. Other activities on weekends include trips to amusement parks, sporting events, nearby cities (Philadelphia and New York) ands favorites such as movies, late-night food runs, shopping, bowling, skating and video arcades. Students are required to be in study hall from Sunday night to Thursday night to help them prepare for the academic classes. Free time is scheduled for before and after study hall.

Parents are kept informed of their child's progress through frequent progress reports and with a final report at the end of the five weeks. We will also provide a transcript to the student's home school.
