The Delphian School:
Anyone who has gone to Delphi for the summer will tell you that Delphi is so much more than a summer camp. It's an incredibly challenging environment for anyone who wants to learn, thrive and grow. And the best part is how much fun you can have doing just that. You'll be challenged everyday with improving your study skills, as well as your knowledge of math, science, English and computer technology. At the same time, you'll be challenged with a wide range of sports and outdoor activities, that all take place at one of the most beautiful places on Earth.

At Delphi, you'll be exposed to everything from horseback riding and archery to tennis, drama, art and music as well as exciting weekend trips, camping, going to the beach, plenty of hiking and more. The sole purpose of the Delphi Summer Program is to challenge young people in and out of the classroom and help them discover that their potential for success is unlimited. It is truly a once in a lifetime experience.
Location:
The Delphian School, located on in Oregon's scenic Willamette Valley 60 miles southwest of Portland, is an independent, co-educational day and boarding school. Set amongst the rolling hills of the Oregon Coast Range and the mountains of the Cascade Range, our 800-acre campus offers the perfect setting for a fun and challenging summer school program.
Courses
Overnight and day programs with personalized academics, challenging activities, sports camps, weekend trips and fun. Over 250 courses and classes are offered each summer. The Delphian School is nonsectarian. Participants are coeducational, boarding ages 8-18, day ages 5-18.
Summer Sports Camps
Delphi offers three intensive summer sports camps in tennis, soccer and volleyball. Soccer and volleyball camps are taught by State-level Varsity coaches and former State-level Varsity players. Students who participate in these camps can successfully increase their skills, stamina and ability to compete.
Horse Camp
Students will learn about basic horse care, tack and equestrian anatomy. They will learn basic arena riding and participate in a simple drill team as well as take trail rides on our 800-acre campus with experienced instructors. Space is limited.
Academic Enrichment Program:
Delphi's unique approach to academics provides an individually tailored program for each student as well as one-on-one assistance. Individual progress is not tied to the speed of others in the class. Students who have mastered the basics are free to advance quickly into new areas. Students can brush up in weak areas (at any level), tackle advanced subjects, or simply explore new interests. Delphi is one of the only academic summer camps to give students instruction in and personal reference books about the subject of how to study.
Chess Camp
Students will learn basic theory and strategy and can compete in the Delphi Invitational Chess Tournament. This camp is run by Delphi's State-level chess team coach.

Campus Life:
In the Upper School, mornings are devoted to classroom academics. Afternoons are spent on sports (soccer, volleyball, tennis, etc.), projects (art, ceramics, crafts, etc.) and special activities (swimming, bowling, horseback riding, archery, drama, computer studies, etc.). Evenings are a mix of free time and 90 minutes of academics.
Middle School students spend their mornings and late afternoons on academic subjects. After lunch, students enjoy participating in sports (soccer, volleyball, tennis, etc.), projects (art, ceramics, crafts, etc.) and special activities (swimming, bowling, horseback riding, archery, drama, computer studies, etc.). Evenings are reserved for group activities such as crafts and games.
In the Lower School, there is even greater emphasis on the outdoors and on recreational activities that have educational value. Students go on field trips and other outings. In general, the mornings are devoted to basic reading and math studies.
All students who are 9 or older participate in the school's Student Services program. Through the program, students contribute 50 minutes a day to the operation and maintenance of the school, gaining a greater appreciation and responsibility for the work involved.
