Camp WE-CO-DA
Weekly Day Camp Sessions for Age 3 - Rising 8th Grade
What camp should be — a place for wonder, to explore, connect, observe, discover and embrace adventures
Camp WE-CO-DA is Westchester Country Day School's signature traditional day camp, offered in half-day or full-day sessions for campers age 3 through rising 8th grade.
Available every week, all summer, with morning and afternoon sessions, day camp at WCDS is more than childcare—it is an extension of Westchester's nurturing, engaging school experience that carries through the summer months for family convenience and consistency.
With a new theme each week, Camp WE-CO-DA campers rotate through activities led by WCDS faculty and trained counselors in a joyful, community-centered environment.
