Structured by Age for the Best Experience
We know that a 4-year-old’s needs and interests are different from a 10-year-old’s, which is why we group children by age.
With two classrooms tailored for different age groups, each child gets age-appropriate activities, making sure they’re engaged, learning, and connecting with peers at their level.
Your child will feel right at home with friends who share their energy and excitement.
Real Skill-Building, Not Just Babysitting
Parents want more than just a fun distraction—they want their child to come away with new skills and confidence.
Every activity in our program is designed to challenge young minds, foster creativity, and promote growth. Whether your child is learning basic math, experimenting with science, or expressing themselves in art and music, they’re building skills that will stick with them long after summer ends.
Daily Updates to Keep You Connected
We believe in complete transparency and love sharing your child’s journey with you. With optional daily updates via WhatsApp, you’ll get a window into your child’s day with photos, videos, and highlights. Even if you’re miles away, you’ll feel connected, reassured, and part of every experience.

the camp deck that had all the information and the group chats with photos!
Emily R.,
Parent of an 8-Year-Old Camper
Our daughter is a bit shy, and we were worried about how she’d do in a new camp setting. The teachers were amazing—they made her feel at home, and now she’s counting down the days each week! She even surprised us by performing in front of everyone at the end-of-week show.
Monica Chandler,
Parent of a 7-Year-Old Camper
It is not too big and there is an actual curriculum. I wanted to send my son for the entire summer but a few weeks were unavailable so will come back next year for whole 10 weeks experiences.
Lisa H.,
Parent of a 10-Year-Old Camper
Thank you for responding to the email that was sent and understanding the concerns we had. My kids ended up enjoying the week despite the age gap they had in class. We loved the performance that all the kids did on Friday to show what they have learned and utilizing their skills openly and gaining confidence.
Dani Herman.,

All the question parents had on the WhatsApp group chat were promptly answered and accommodated patiently. The staff are so caring!

What makes your camp unique compared to other local programs?
Comprehensive, Story-Based Themes:
Each week is built around a carefully crafted story-based theme that ties all activities together. This keeps kids engaged and excited as they follow the story through STEAM projects, creative arts, baking, outdoor adventures, and more. It’s a camp experience that evolves and builds week by week.
Diverse Activities Under One Roof:
Your child gets access to a variety of experiences, including art, music, math, public speaking, sports, baking, and language arts. This one-stop approach means your child doesn’t just explore one interest—they discover and develop multiple skills.
Personalized Attention with Small Groups + Daily Parent Communication:
With a low student-to-teacher ratio (1:8), every child gets the attention they deserve, ensuring they feel supported, included, and confident in everything they do. Plus, parents receive daily updates through our WhatsApp group, including photos, videos, and highlights of your child’s day, so you stay connected and informed throughout the summer.

Can we transfer camp credit to another program or to a friend?
We completely understand the need for flexibility, but after careful consideration, we’ve decided not to allow camp credit transfers to other programs or friends.
Here’s why:
Our camp it’s a carefully planned, skill-building program designed to give your child an enriching, memorable summer. Every activity, theme, and material is tailored specifically for each camper well in advance, requiring a significant amount of time, effort, and resources.
In the past, we allowed credit transfers, but we found that it disrupted the careful planning and preparation that goes into ensuring the best experience for all our campers.
To maintain the quality and integrity of our program, we’ve decided that camp credits must remain tied to the original registration.
We greatly appreciate your understanding and respect for the work we put into making this camp an incredible experience for your child. If you have any concerns or need assistance, we’re happy to help you find the best way to make your summer plans work with our program!

We understand that every child is unique and may not enjoy or excel at every activity or theme.
Our goal is to create an environment where all children feel supported and encouraged to try new things.
Here’s how we handle these situations:
Individual Attention: With our low student-to-teacher ratio (1:8), our staff can provide personalized attention to help your child feel more comfortable and engaged.
If they’re struggling with a particular activity, our instructors will offer gentle guidance and encouragement tailored to their needs.
Flexible Participation:
If a child doesn’t enjoy a specific activity, they’re never forced to participate. Instead, we offer alternative options that align with their interests, ensuring they stay engaged and have a positive experience.
Encouragement to Explore:
Our themes and activities are designed to introduce kids to new skills and interests in a fun, low-pressure environment.
Sometimes, a little encouragement and exposure can spark an unexpected interest!
Parent Communication: If we notice that your child is consistently struggling or not enjoying a theme, we’ll communicate with you to discuss their preferences and find ways to make their experience more enjoyable.
Ultimately, our goal is to create a summer experience that is not only fun but also enriching and adaptable to each child’s needs. We’ll work closely with your child and with you to ensure they feel happy, supported, and excited to come to camp each day.
Will my child have the opportunity to showcase what they’ve learned, like a performance or presentation?
Yes! Showcasing achievements is a big part of our camp experience, and we love giving kids the opportunity to share what they’ve learned.
Here’s how we make it happen:
Weekly Performances or Presentations At the end of each week, campers will have the chance to participate in a performance, presentation, or showcase based on that week’s theme.
Whether it’s an art exhibit, a short skit, or a STEAM demonstration, these activities are designed to celebrate their creativity and hard work.
Builds Confidence and Pride
These showcases are more than just fun—they’re an opportunity for your child to build confidence, practice public speaking, and feel proud of what they’ve accomplished.
Parent Engagement
Parents are invited to attend these end-of-week showcases, so you can see firsthand what your child has been learning and creating.
Collaboration and Teamwork
Many of these presentations involve teamwork, encouraging campers to collaborate and celebrate their collective achievements with peers.
These showcases are one of the highlights of our camp, and they give every child a chance to shine in their own way. It’s a great way for them to end each week on a high note and for parents to be part of the journey!
What’s included in the cost, and are there any extra fees?
The Black Friday cost covers the weekly camp fees, which include all the daily activities, structured projects, and supervision during regular camp hours.
