Our Heritage

The Crestwood School is a natural next step from the creators of one of this area's premiere summer camps, Oak Crest Day Camp. Our reputation has been established as nurturing and innovative providers of a superior camp experience – one that is recreational, educational and developmental. We have had ample opportunity to develop and monitor our philosophy of success for children in everything we have done to make Oak Crest Day Camp what it is today.

As we have suggested , we do not just await your questions – we honor them. Thus, we are eager to hear your thoughts about the beginning of your child's learning career.
