Lower School Fun Days


Hamden Hall offers a Fun Day Program for all our Lower School students during many of the days that the Hamden Hall School community does not have academic classes. This coverage is for Hamden Hall students in Grades PS - 5. During the day, the children will use the Beckerman Athletic Center to have a full day of play in a safe and supervised environment. There will be a variety of playground and gym equipment, board games, art supplies, books, and indoor toys for the children to use. 

Please contact Josalee Thrift for more information about this program at jthrift@hamdenhall.org.
