The Oak Hall Summer Program opened their doors in the mid 1990’s offering a series of half-day art, sports, and enrichment programming for kids ages 10 & up under the leadership of Mike Haddow. In 2001, the Summer Program was expanded under the leadership, Jeffrey A. Malloy who increased summer offerings to be available during both the months of June and July. In 2002, following Oak Hall’s purchase of the former Martha Manson Academy, the program was expanded again to include the day camps run for MMA serving kids in grades K-5. A middle school and preschool day camp was also added at that time. The program has continued to evolve and grow under the current leadership of Danielle Tripp and now offers five full day camps encompassing the months of June and July for ages 3 through grade 9; several weekly morning half day camps in the arts, athletics, enrichment , summer studies, and technology/STEM/STEAM, and a series of elective camps to compliment the offerings of full day camps.
