Campers investigate all aspects of Mother Nature including weather, bugs, and habitats. Their green thumbs will be put to the test as they create their own mini gardens and learn about the life cycle of plants.

What’s beyond the moon?

Get ready for an amazing exploration of space. Campers embark on an imaginative journey to the moon and back, as they learn more about our solar system through dramatic play, art, stories, and more.

Building without Blocks

Children think outside the box to create structures using recycled materials including cups, sticks, cardboard boxes, and milk jugs. The possibilities are endless.

Specialty Camps

Soccer Shots- A high-energy program introducing the children to the fundamental soccer principals such as- using your feet, dribbling, and the basic rules of the game. Through fun games, songs and positive reinforcement- children will begin to experience the joy of playing soccer and being active.

Ballet – Learn all the right moves! Your little ballerina will learn basic ballet steps- Plie, tendu, releve, arabesque, saute, enchappe, jete, chasses- just to name a few. All of this through songs, warm ups, and activities.

Specialty Camps

Gymnastics- Explore with tumbling, trampoline, balance beams, high bars and so much more! This class will help to increase your child’s flexibility, improve their balance, coordination and even fine and gross motor skills!

Science- Get your child interested in the world around them. With loads of “hands on” activities and experiments, your little ones will be uncovering the mysteries of science one class at a time. Your child will also have a take home sample each week!

Kung-Fu- The emphasis on practical and efficient application in actual combat with strangers, in often-times less than ideal environments, has helped shape the evolution of Shou Shu for the modern world. It is due to this type of situations that it has been the martial art of choice for many individuals within the military, and/or federal and local law enforcement agencies.

Jump Bunch- JumpBunch ensures that a child’s first experiences are positive and exposes them to many sports options. JumpBunch kids are more likely to be confident and ready to advance as they join their first organized team, or even as they choose up sides on the playground. Exercise helps to build strong bones and muscles and it helps kids sleep well at night and stay alert during the day!
