Yes! Camp trips are scheduled weekly into our program plans. ALL camps will go on an adventure either locally or out-of-town. 

Please note that it is our intention to have all participants back to their home facility by 4:00p.m. when travelling in or out-of-town. We have created our programming to ensure we have allotted time for traffic, construction, accidents, etc. Should a bus be experiencing delays that will affect the arrival time back at the facility, camp staff will call families to make them aware. 

Ages 4 - 5 - 1:8 ratio

Ages 6 - 12 - 1:12 ratio

Great question! Each camp is unique to it's title, and will look different on day-to-day activities. Camps will have a strong focus on safety, outdoor play, and fun! When signing in, groups will be participating in inclusive activities as new and old friends join in. Once all participants have arrived they will begin their day via a detailed program plan including activities, crafts, sports, swimming, and special guests or trip adventures!

When picking up your child please don't forget your photo identification!

What do I need to pack for my child to attend camp?

It is encouraged to pack the following items:

1. A nut free lunch and snacks (similar to what you may pack for school)

2. A refillable water bottle

3. Sunscreen and hat are strongly recommended. *Please note that staff will not be putting sunscreen on your child, however will direct them and guide them on the how to. We encourage families to go through the process of how to put on sunscreen, so participants understand and can apply the sunscreen themselves. 

4. Comfortable, loose fitted clothing, as well as closed-toe shoes, such as running shoes.

5. A swimsuit and towel

6. Any extra items for a specialty camp you have registered for that requires you to bring your own equipment such as a bike, scooter, helmet, etc. 

We strongly encourage families to register for camp programs that reflect their child’s age, as we strive to deliver quality, safe & developmentally appropriate programs.
