WELCOME!
ar Families,
Welcome to the 2020 Summer Programs at Harpeth Hall School. For over 17 years, Harpeth Hall
has offered a robust and diverse selection of summer opportunities for girls in Middle Tennessee,
and this year is no exception. Whether it is serving a tennis ball or serving others, catching
bugs or catching basketballs, stringing a violin or stringing gemstones, there is so much to try
this summer at Harpeth Hall. Leading the state in the areas of academics, arts, and athletics,
the Summer Programs at Harpeth Hall offer the same excellence in teaching, leadership, and
coaching that is found throughout the school year. Echoing the school’s mission, this summer we
will teach your girl to think critically, to lead confidently, and to live honorably. . . and have fun, too!
I welcome you to look through the brochure with your daughter and discover for yourself why I
say … Harpeth Hall has it all! Register today at HarpethHall.org.
Sincerely,
Kelsy Mugele

LOOKING FOR A FULL-DAY
EXPERIENCE? MAKE A DAY OF IT!
Combine a morning camp and afternoon camp for a full-day experience.
Got a baller with an interest in drama? What about an artist with an interest in science?
Well, make a day of it!
Can’t get enough competition? Well, make a day of it! Choose a morning session, choose an
afternoon session, and create a full day of fun for your daughter.
For only $50 a week you can include lunch, games, and entertainment. Check out the
Calendar of Camps to match up the morning and afternoon camps listed by weeks and ages.
Counselors, teachers, and coaches will
lead lunch in the dining hall. This hour is
a great time for the girls to recharge with
a healthy lunch and regroup for the next
session. Enrollment is limited, so act fast!
This $50 additional charge will be
available upon checkout and is required
for those attending two camp sessions
within the same week.
Campers will need to bring a water bottle,
snacks, and have sunscreen already applied.
