TK & Kindergarten Enrichment
Starting Transitional Kindergarten (TK) or Kindergarten is a big milestone for children and families. We foster each child’s growth and development to prepare them for success. Our 4 and 5 year-old campers have their own space and participate in activities focused on school readiness, early literacy, friendship, STEM, and creative expression.
Our TK & Kinder enrichment program is full-day, with flexible drop-off/pick-up times.
Rising 1st-6th grade
Our elementary school campers have fun while building independence. They meet in the gym and are grouped into crews by grade and family request. With a personalized experience, our expansive electives program offers unique activities each day—helping campers make the most of every moment.
