This special, enhanced morning program for Infants features one experienced, loving caregiver for every two children; a fully-equipped Infant Center, and a full range of stimulating, baby-friendly activities: music, singing, movement; books, reading aloud, and rhymes; puppets and story telling; color and texture play; crawling and tumbling mats and toys; socializing; outdoor and nature 'strolls' and old-fashioned, imaginative fun with water cans, pots, spoons, cardboard boxes. Evenings, your child has his or her very own Parents' Helper for one-on-one care so you can enjoy a leisurely dinner as a two-some or with friends...and parents' nights out any night you wish.

June 7 to August 30: Morning and Evening Parents' Helper and Morning Infant Playroom Activities

If your family vacation comes between June 7 and August 30, we arrange for you to have your own Parents' Helper who'll provide your child with one-on-one affectionate care and companionship for your week. Together your child and Parents' Helper can attend a variety of infant-friendly activities held in the Infant Playroom at the Playhouse and Playground. Evenings, your Parents' Helper will have dinner and play with your child at the Playhouse or take your child back to your accommodation for an early bedtime while the two of you have a relaxed, candlelight dinner at the Inn.

"The summer camp that every kid dreams of - the perfect escape that every busy parents longs for! The Tyler Place is the only resort that provides for the smallest of infants, while making sure that adults have time to rest, reconnect and restore their batteries. 'As the harried parents of 3 pre-schoolers, we have found our dream escape!' A lovely blend of romantic time alone, social activities, lots of outdoor fun and cherished family times by the fire in our cozy little cabin by the lake." -R & P, Shelburne, VT, Butterball, 6/16-6/23. 2007

Our first year at Tyler Place was a tough one with a teething infant and very active 3-year-old. We left exhausted but saw potential. We have been coming back to Tyler ever since and it just gets better every time. It is a vacation for everybody and everybody looks forward to The Tyler trip each summer. We are always pleasantly surprised with upgrades and improvements and the welcome smiles of familiar faces." -A & S, Ridgefield, CT, Stork, 7/21-7/28. 2007

"A healthy blend of 'couple activity time' and family event time. When we were off doing adult sporting activities, we knew our newborn was in great hands with our Helper and that our 5 & 6-year-olds were having the time of their lives in group activities conducted by truly wonderful counselors from all over the world." -T & T, Clive, IA, Mrs. T's, 6/24-7/01. 2006

"The baby was exposed to so many activities he will rule the house when we return!" -J & S, Maplewood, NJ, Ferncroft A, 6/30-7/07. 2007
