Interview With
Bridgette Rappoport
Summer Camp at Delphi has been operational since 2003. We offer fun camp activities daily, weekly field trips and academic enrichment in a safe, structured environment for campers ages 4-10.
We are located in downtown Santa Monica, 4 blocks from the beach at 1229 4th Street, ½ block south of Wilshire.
Our camp philosophy is to provide an environment for our campers to learn new things, make friends and have lots of fun!
If I were going to stay a specialty, it would be the academic enrichment. We have campers that come from all over the world to our summer camp in order to have a camp experience but also improve in their academics.
Every camp week is broken up into daily highlighted activities – Monday is The Arts day, Tuesday is Cooking day, Wednesday is Swimming/Water Play, Thursday is Science Day and Legos and Fridays are our field trip days.
Typical session length is two weeks (that is our minimum) and pricing is $480/week, all inclusive. Our camp starts June 24 and runs through Aug 16.
We have 8 full time staff members but hire additional professionals in their given fields such as science, fine art, sports and more.
I think parents should send their children to our camp because it fulfills many of the requirements parents are looking for – academic continuity – not completely breaking from academic instruction in the summer time, a structured schedule with excellent supervision (average classsize is about 12:1), a variety of fun activities and lots of opportunities to make new friends and just have a good time!
Camp enrollment has already begun and is filling up. We do have some spaces still available, so I would just recommend contacting me with via email or phone to inquire about availability and how to enroll.
Certainly, I would say that if they are looking for a camp program for their younger or elementary-aged camper, that we are an ideal program for them. We have experienced teachers working with them every day with small class sizes to make sure all our campers have a wonderful experience.
Best time to get a hold of me via phone would be in the mornings. I check my email throughout the day.
