Kindergartners have their own special academic schedule designed to prepare them for entering kindergarten classes in the fall. Familiar faces and secure surroundings are high priorities in our efforts to promote socialization skills and to build confidence.
Kindergarten-age students participate in this program designed especially for them in Harker's Summer Camp Plus. KinderCampers have their own classrooms and materials, playgrounds, field trips, theme days and activity program. Play is important to camp and children will be given many opportunities to develop curiosity and creativity through monitored play experiences.
Familiar faces and secure surroundings help promote socialization skills and build confidence in our KinderCampers.
OUR PROGRAM
KinderCampers have their own special academic schedule designed to prepare them for entering their kindergarten classes in the fall. Mornings are filled with academic readiness activities in language arts and math. Lessons are designed to include plenty of hands-on learning opportunities as the children explore math and language arts concepts. KinderCamp teachers give special care in introducing a classroom routine including listening skills, following directions, individual responsibility and more. Familiar faces and secure surroundings are high priorities in our efforts to promote socialization skills and to build self-esteem.
