CAMP FAQS

What happens at camp?

Each week focuses on a different theme and within that theme each day has a sub-theme.  We mix a variety of hands on projects - painting, building, planting, baking, creating - free play, outdoor time, snack and lunch to make for a fun and unique experience for all kids.  

 

How many kids are at camp?

Our camps max out at 22 kids.

 

Will my kids be together or separate?

Because our camp is so small, everyone is together.  We have found that kids naturally hang with kids they know or siblings.  They also always meet friends here!  

 

How many counselors are there?

We aim for about 1 counselor to 5 kids.

 

What are the ages for camp?

For our full-day camps, all 5-10 year olds are welcome.   We love 11 year olds, but sometimes they might be a bit too cool for us, however it depends on the child and we leave it up to the parent.  

 

While we cannot have our four-year old friends at full-day camp, we are excited to offer our Sprouts Camp in 2024 for our 4-7 year old friends, who just want a little tasted of camp.  This camp runs from 9am until 12pm.

 

How do you handle allergies?

We take allergies very seriously and we adapt our programming to accommodate them.  We don't anyone feeling left out or unsafe.

Yes!  We love discounts.  There is a standard 5% sibling discount and 5% discount for each week of summer camp you purchase.  Our EARLY BIRD discount is available from 1/8-2/15/2024.  We also will send out discount codes via our email list and social media throughout the year.
