Age range:

Movers and Makers - Ages 5-7

Mighty Makers - Ages 8-11

Campers must bring a lunch and snacks. Food will not be provided. Please ensure your child is dressed for the unpredictable weather!

NOTE TO ALL PARENTS/ CAREGIVERS:

Our camp is designed to provide group programming with a high ratio of campers to staff. Our staff are trained for general camper support, not specialized 1:1 care. For children requiring consistent physical assistance or intensive behavioral support, this includes but not limited to sensory, behavioral, physical or verbal aggression, fleeing/elopement, or inability to participate, parents may need to arrange for their own private support worker, as our program isn't equipped to provide this level of care.
