Our Junior Camp is the perfect way for younger children to experience the fun and structure of summer camp for the first time. 

The camp emphasizes the development of healthy friendships and provides opportunities to accomplish goals in a fun and caring co-ed environment. 

Every day, each camper will have the opportunity to:

  • Develop skills through innovative and fun programs including creative movement, sports and games, and swim lessons 
  • Create projects in our woodshop and art room 
  • Establish new and meaningful friendships

All participants in Junior Camp must be potty-trained and have turned 3 years old by December 1, 2024.

Check out our half day option

Your little one can choose to play for half the day! Children enrolled in our half day option will enjoy a busy morning exploring campus with their fellow campers. Choosing this Junior Camp-specific option will welcome campers at 8:00 a.m. and, after lunch, get them ready for car pick-up at noon.
