Pee Wee Camp
Children in our Pee Wee Summer Camp will grow and develop while playing games, working on arts and crafts, and having fun outside. Children will play sports adapted specifically to their age and ability, and spend lots of time on the playground and exploring nature in our parks. Our Pee Wee’s will spend one day every week having a splash day either at Tolentine Park, or at Sgt. Means Park.
Entering Grades: Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd
Youth Camp
The days of our Youth Campers are filled with sports, arts and crafts, and lots of time outside being active and exploring nature in our parks. This high energy age group will have plenty to keep them busy throughout the fun summer days. Our Youth Campers will spend one day every week having a splash day at Tolentine Park, or at Sgt. Means Park.
Entering Grades: 4th, 5th, 6th
Leadership Camp
Older youth can relive their summer camp days while expanding their leadership skills. Junior High and High School aged youth will play and have fun with kids their age, with the added opportunity of leadership roles. They will have opportunities to assist the counselors in planning activities for the younger kids, as well as participating in activities appropriate for their age group. They will be going on most of the same field trips as the other camps, but will occasionally take a separate field trip specifically geared towards building leadership skills. They will participate in all swim days as the Youth Camp.
Entering Grades: 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th
