Our classes are small; at full capacity, there are no more than twenty students per age group. This allows individual attention for each young camper.
Groups are organized by age, so all students are in a group with other children who are close in age.
Each group of no more than twenty students has a dedicated counselor that stays with that particular group through all their classes and accompanies them to lunch. Each class has a dedicated teacher, so each group of students is supervised by two staff members. Teachers are in charge of class content, while counselors provide guidance and assistance to students.
In past years, STA classes have included training in the following areas:
Parents and students meet their counselors every morning for drop-off at 8:45 AM, and all groups then proceed to the STA classrooms. After all-camp announcements, student groups attend multiple classes throughout the day, with lunch taking place around noon. At 3:40 PM, the entire camp goes to the pickup area to head home at the end of the day.

Lunch takes place in the STA classrooms. STA campers must bring their own lunch every day.
