Themes

WEEK 1
June 16 – 20 (four-day week, no Camp June 19)
We’re Going on Safari
Our week of adventure is perfect for young children who love animals and exploring nature! Throughout the week, campers will discover amazing creatures from jungles, deserts, and oceans while playing games, going on nature walks, and meeting real animals up close. Each day, they’ll learn cool facts about animals, like how giraffes reach the tallest trees or how turtles find their way home. Kids will also get to create animal masks, build jungle scenes, and design fun crafts they can take home. The week wraps up with a big Safari Celebration, where everyone can dress as their favorite animal and share all the exciting things they’ve learned. It’s the perfect way for little adventurers to connect with nature, make new friends, and have an unforgettable time!

WEEK 2
June 23 – 27
These are the People in my Neighborhood
This week will be an exciting adventure where campers learn all about the important people who help our community! Each day, we’ll explore a different job, like firefighters, police officers, doctors, mail carriers, teachers, and more. Through fun games, songs, stories, and hands-on activities, children will get to “meet” these neighborhood helpers and even try out some of their roles! They’ll pretend to deliver mail, practice caring for stuffed animals like doctors, and much more. By the end of camp, kids will feel like they know all the special people who make their neighborhood a great place to live!

WEEK 3

High Sea Adventures
Hop aboard as we set sail for the week. Enjoy playing games like “Treasure Hunt” and crafting pirate hats and treasure chests. Campers transform into marine biologists as they create jellyfish and fish while enjoying a splashing good time with water play. They also focus on nautical skills, learning knot-tying and sailing techniques through team-building activities. The fun continues with friendly competitions featuring relay races and scavenger hunts, culminating in a campfire where stories of brave explorers are shared. The week wraps up with a grand pirate party, where campers don their best pirate attire, feast on “pirate grub,” and celebrate their adventures with music and awards, forging friendships and unforgettable memories on the high seas.

On Wednesday, they dive into the ocean, learning about dolphins and turtles through fun water play and ocean-themed art. Thursday explores the chilly Arctic with games inspired by polar bears and penguins. Finally, on Friday, campers enjoy farmyard fun, visiting a mini petting zoo and competing in a “Farm Olympics” before celebrating the week with songs and sharing their favorite animal facts around a campfire. Each day is filled with themed activities and crafts, creating unforgettable memories while exploring the animal kingdom from around the globe!
