To join the Fireflies program, students must be three years old by May 1, 2025, and fully toilet trained. If students turn three years old during the month of May, are fully toilet trained, and have received written approval from both Directors for the ELC and of Auxiliary Programs, they may register for the Fireflies program.
Beauvoir Summer camps offer a safe, supportive environment where campers make meaningful friendships and explore weekly themes; through games, activities, stories, music, dramatic play, and arts and crafts, Fireflies strengthen their skills and build confidence.
Every day, campers spend time outside in nature. Beauvoir Summer offers a singular experience at the Cathedral Grounds; counselors may visit the koi pond at Bishop’s Garden, picnic in the Amphitheater, or search for bugs on a hike through Olmstead Woods. Our one-of-a-kind educational play space is built into the camp’s daily schedule at the pool and Beauvoir Outdoors.

Beauvoir Summer 2025 Themes
Our themes are incorporated each week through various activities, projects, and conversations during the camp day, often culminating in a community-wide gathering each Friday. Campers will also explore much of the Washington National Cathedral grounds on scavenger hunt games and connect with the outdoors. It’s a great place to be a camper! Daily swim instruction is part of the day, as is a morning snack, lunch, and afternoon snack—all included in the program price.
Fireflies will have 2-3 swim lessons per week. Lessons will occur with qualified instructors in the shallow end of the central Beauvoir Pool. In addition to this newly added swim lesson, all Fireflies will have a daily splash time at Beauvoir’s toddler pool. The Beauvoir Pool has certified lifeguards on duty throughout the camp day.
Swimsuit and Sunscreen Recommendations
We ask parents to send campers ready in their swimsuits (on their scheduled swim days) with sunscreen applied. A bathing suit with a separate top and bottom is preferred for ease of bathroom use. We also recommend sending in a sunscreen spray, reducing the need for counselors to assist with hands-on sunscreen application.
