gnite Your Child’s Summer
Dear ESF Camp Families,
This summer, camp will be more important than ever. As we turn the page on 2020,
we are most excited about the work that we have done this past year to prepare for
a summer like no other, and we are ready! This camp season will be filled with special
experiences that will enable our campers to rediscover the joys of summer, and
reestablish what it means to be a kid again – having fun, playing together, and creating
lifelong memories with their friends.
As we celebrate ESF’s 40th camp season this summer, our program offerings will
be focused on creating a safe, exciting, and fun environment. Through best-in-class
curriculum, boys and girls, ages 3-15, will ignite their interests, follow their dreams, and
prepare for bright futures—whether it’s sports, science, technology, the arts, or all of
the above. Our experienced, all-adult staff knows that the most important role we play
in our campers’ lives is to provide a safe place to build character, inspire gratitude and
spark friendships.
Our exciting 2021 program line-up includes 60+ award-winning activities, uniquely
designed to encourage exploration and personal growth. We will provide the tools to
promote creativity, develop leadership skills, build confidence and improve athletic
ability. An ESF Summer will have a lasting impact on each and every camper’s growth
and development. We encourage you to enroll now since space is limited. If you have
any questions, please call us anytime to learn more about how we can customize your
child’s ESF experience.
We will make up for lost time this summer by providing your campers with the camp
experience they deserve, and we promise it will be worth the wait! We can’t wait to see
you there!

Sincerely,

MICHAEL J. ROUSE
Executive Director & Co-Founder
(Proud Dad of Campers Finn, Shane, Brody and Naomi)

                       also proud to be celebrating 13-years in the Bethesda community! This summer,

Advanced Safet
             y Plan
Since 1982, safety is our #1 priority.
A tremendous collaboration of research and expert medical input
went into the creation of our Advanced Safety Plan™, which exceeds
recommendations by the CDC, ACA, NIH, and AAP, as well as local
and state restrictions which is why ESF is considered one of the
safest camps in the United States. We will adjust our plan to meet
recommended guidelines and requirements once they are announced
and as we get closer to the 2021 summer camp season. A detailed
safety guide will also be provided prior to camp. While some of our
camp programs will look different this summer, be assured that the
in-person camp experiences will still be chock-full of enrichment
opportunities and action-packed, fun activities.

and our staff members on-site this summer.

       THE   PREMIER CAMP EXPERIENCE
       FOR   VALUABLE LIFE LESSONS!
       ESF is a HAPPY PLACE where, since 1982, every child
       is free to explore their curiosity and power their
       potential. We guarantee that a summer at ESF will have
       a lasting impact on a camper’s happiness, growth and
       development.

       We believe building character muscles is similar to building
       physical muscles. We thread opportunities throughout the
       camp day to strengthen these muscles, thereby making
       character development a key differentiator of an ESF
       Experience. As a result, ESF campers become stronger,
       healthier and more resilient. We
       build upon family values and
       continue to shape the “Character
       Muscles” of our campers through
       our 8 ESF Virtues:

        • GRATITUDE                   • KINDNESS
        • RESPECT                     • RESILIENCY
        • TRUSTWORTHINESS             • COMMUNITY
