Questions & Answers

Summer camps 100% yes because we have a large campership which leads to more personalized activities by age! For holiday camps it can be a little trickier for the younger ones as these camps are a little smaller so sometimes there is more mixing with 1st-3rd graders for the 4/5 year olds. I am one of the camp directors and my 4 year old son has attended holiday camps this school year. He has really like them but definitely can feel a little tricky for some 4 year old's since they have yet to enter TK/K. -
If it's rainy day, will many activities not be able to play or become indoors? So the camp is still on during rainy days? (No School Adventure Camp) -

Hi, today (January 4, 2023) was probably one of the rainiest days of the last few years, and my daughter Mia (11) told me they had a great time, as there is a covered area where they played and ate lunch etc. It's an awesome camp! -
Hi, it says the appropriate ages are 6 to 14. Would this work for a very active 5 year old who is used to playing with older kids? Thanks! (No School Adventure Camp)
