Age Groups
6 to 9 year olds: Our “Senior” campers; this group includes children who have finished kindergarten.
Our program for this age group is run by qualified young educators (in their 20’s). Our campers enjoy their activities, make great friends, and have lots of freedom to explore and play and also participate in many amazing, organized activities.
This is a quality, safe program with an excellent educator to camper ratio of 1:10
4 to 5 years:
This group includes children who have finished pre-kindergarten or K4.
This group is ready for “older kid” activities and enjoys a combination of free play with our friends, and many diverse indoor and outdoor activities organized by our fully qualified staff.
3 to 4 years:
For this group, summer is the time to get outside, to feel excited about being with your friends, and to learn just how much fun everyone can have together. The focus is on creative play and discovery in a social environment.
2 to 3 years:
Summer gives us the opportunity to do many activities, such as paint with our feet, or play in our wading pools, that we just would not be able to do during the school year. We just love summer camp!
14 months to 2 years:
We have our own dedicated play area for this group, with trees, grass and playground soft wood chips, where we can explore and play in safety with our little friends.
