About Camp Stonewall & Marianapolis Prep School:
Camp Stonewall is a co-ed sleepaway camp nestled on the Marianapolis Prep School campus. We offer daily activities in athletics as well as performing and visual arts. The Camp Stonewall community values respect, loyalty, independence and enthusiasm among all of its campers and staff.
Camp serves kids aged 8-15. In addition to attracting campers and staff from the United States, our participants also come from Europe, Asia, and Australia. Everyone has full access to Marianapolis’ private school facilities; girls reside in Victorian and Colonial style houses, while boys live in a comfortable hall-style dormitory. Campers are grouped by age (8-10, 11-12, 13-15) and live right down the hall from their counselors.
When it comes to activities, it’s totally up to the kids! For every activity period, every day, we present 4-5 choices across our range of offerings. A typical period might look like: soccer, swimming, candle making, duct tape art, and drama games; each child chooses which activity he or she wants to do. Whether it’s capture the flag, friendship bracelets, improv, hip hop, tie dye, or badminton, our kids get to try it all. In the evenings, the whole camp comes together for unforgettable special events and activities (Halloween, Water Carnival, Movie Night, Lip Syncs, etc). Stonewall staff encourages each child to try new things in the spirit of creativity and healthy competition.
