Along the Biscayne Canal in the pristine community of Miami Shores you will find Miami Country Day School, a PK3-12th grade college preparatory school. But before there was a school, there was a camp. Our founders knew that learning could not end with the academic year. They recognized how summertime provided a chance to build on the important lessons of the school year in a fun, relaxed environment. More than 90 years after the founding of the summer camp that started it all, the school’s advanced 23-acre campus — equipped with 24-hour security, a weather alert system, and two full-time registered nurses — continues to offer premier summer programming in South Florida. With a diverse range of offerings to choose from in 2021, you are bound to build your best summer yet.
