Junior Camp (Ages 3.5-5)

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, 2023.

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.

Packing list

Your child will need the following items in his/her backpack:

Extra set of clothing (shirt, shorts, underwear, and socks)
Bathing suit (to stay at camp for the week)
Towel (to stay at camp for the week)
Sunblock
Water shoes (crocs, natives, etc.) for travel to the pool and water play activities
Rain jacket
Water bottle
Sneakers (worn to camp is best!)
Hat

Your child will have a locker in which he or she can leave items for the week. We will send his/her backpack home every night. Your child's bathing suit and towel will hang up to dry overnight.

Please leave all sandals and flip-flops at home. Our days are action packed so sneakers are best!

We have many friends for your child to play with each week so please label all items to avoid confusion!

Helpful hints

Label all items that you send to camp!
Bathing suits, towels, sunblock, and extra clothes will be kept in your child's locker and will return home on Friday.
Since we are spending time both inside and outside, please wear sneakers or close-toed shoes, not flip flops or sandals without a heel strap! This will keep campers safe and able to participate in all activities.
Please apply sunscreen before your camper arrives to camp in the morning and send in a labeled supply in your child's backpack so we can reapply throughout the day and after swimming.
Camp can be a messy place! We highly encourage you to send your child to camp in play clothes so they can confidently take part in all activities without worry that their nice clothes may come home messier than intended.
Our staff asks that your child arrive with a backpack or drawstring bag each day so we can help keep your camper organized as well as send home any projects.
