Description
Welcome! Whether you choose one week or several weeks, our Adventure Day Camp fits your schedule and provides a safe environment for children to run, play, build self-esteem and encourages positive cooperation. Having the highest quality leadership staff is our greatest asset. All staff are carefully selected and background checked to ensure we have the best possible role models. All summer camp staff participates in an intensive training program and are CPR/1st Aid certified. Because kids today need camp experiences more than ever, your child will have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of activities including swimming once a week, field trips, outside games and more that will help them discover new talents, gain independence, build confidence and create long-lasting friendships and memories but most importantly, have fun!
Parents have the option of enrolling their children in our K-2nd group or our 2nd-4th group. Parents know their children best; this age split will give our parents the opportunity to decide where they think their children will succeed based on development and camp experience.
Our 2nd-4th grade camps focus on youth development and learning through a wide-range of activities, field trips, and opportunities. All of our activities and trips are intentionally planned to promote development/learning while providing our older campers with new experiences and challenges. All campers leave their site every day, swim, slip n’ slide on our giant slide and hike once during the week, visit multiple parks, and attend two field trips that relate to the weekly theme. Each camper will participate in arts & crafts, daily reading, games, singing, and visit with our weekly STEM instructor to create excited well-rounded campers. In light of the pandemic we are working on combating learning loss by providing time each week with licensed teachers that will teach the 4 Blocks curriculum that focuses on literacy through guided reading, self-selected reading and working with words. Each week provides campers with new themes and age-appropriate curriculum to keep older campers excited, learning, and challenged. Swim lessons are not included in this camp. All campers are swim tested. Those who cannot swim will be required to wear a life-jacket at all times while swimming. Parents are responsible for providing a life jacket. ** Hawthorne Camp will move to the Wilson School Gym the last two weeks of camp
