Families who have attended camp before can either send us an email to register their child, or they will be able to register on January 6 at 9:00 a.m., using the CampMinder account they’ve used in previous years. If you want to register before we open, please email us at summer@belmontday.org with what sessions your child is interested in. We will then confirm what payment information we have on file. If you are going to register yourself on January 6, we recommend you log back in to make sure you remember your password and will have no issues on the morning of. 

Families who are new to camp will need to register through the camp office until January 20, 2025 (when registration opens to the public and you can create your own account). If you’d like to register during the BDS priority registration period, you can email us at summer@belmontday.org, and we can help get you registered. We will need the following information to register your camper, and then we will send you a login link and add a payment method:

• Name

• DOB

• Current Grade

• Home address

• Daytime phone number

Spots are available for Belmont Day families through February 13, 2026 (the Friday before February Vacation Week). After that, space may be subject to availability.

It is a good idea to keep extra outdoor gear in your child’s cubby or locker so they are always prepared. It is also a great idea to keep spare clothes at school, no matter your child’s age, in case clothing becomes wet or muddy while playing outside.

Middle school athletes should have long pants or sweatpants available each day, as well as appropriate gear for the weather. After School students enjoy the outdoors daily as well, especially on Fridays.

If any family has questions or needs regarding proper cold-weather clothing, please contact Maren Coniglione, school nurse, Blair Fross, director of school-year auxiliary and specialty programs, Betty Chu Pyor, lower school head, or Liz Gray, middle school head. 

Before participating in small group discussions, we heard a short talk from Dr. Marcia Mareno Báez, a professor at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, about the importance of thinking and acting with empathy. She emphasized that the skills we nurture in Model UN–listening, speaking, and collaborating–are skills that are fundamental to global leadership.

Preparing for a Model UN conference involves extra work outside of school, a commitment to effective collaboration, and a desire to make a difference in the world. All of our students did so well. They brought flair, kindness, and humor to their preparation work and spread the BDS values of excellence and joy at the conference itself. Many of these students will be taking part in future Model UN opportunities this year. Be sure to ask one of our BDS delegates about their experiences as international diplomats!

Our Model UN participants were sixth graders Zoe Masozera, Nick Yu, Kayla Li, Ben Fucci, Celine Li, Noah Woreta, and Isaac Luo; seventh graders Leah Zhang, Bella Tan, LaMay Zhang, Elena Li, Dalia DiCrescenzo, Stuart Sun, Rubin Xiao, Elsie Yang, Marina Hubbard, Jaya Patel, and Olivia Hu; and eighth graders Eileen Luo and Reema Wulfsberg.
