Your camper’s day
Your child’s daily camp activities vary depending on their age group:
General Schedule
Every day of summer camp is filled with exciting events to keep campers busy and having fun. On field trip days, children arrive in the morning for breakfast before heading off to their destination. Camps average three exciting field trips each week, typically lasting until the afternoon. On-site days are filled with visits to parks and splash pads, fun daily themes, weekly interest clubs, art activities, games, STEM activities and more!
Meals & Snacks
For your convenience, a variety of hot and cold breakfasts, lunches, and two snacks per day are included in tuition. An example of a bag lunch is a carved turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread, fresh fruit, vegetable, carton milk, and more. Our kid-friendly chefs prepare delicious meals in our on-site commercial kitchens daily.
Age Groups
Campers are organized by age group to ensure activities and trips are age appropriate for those that attend.
