Summer Camp

Fresh air, healthy movement, water play, arts and crafts, story telling, puppetry, literacy, STEM, mindfulness, gardening, and games make Camp at Friends exactly what young children want and need during the summer months. Summer Camp runs for 8, one-week sessions offered Monday to Friday from 9:00am - 1:00 pm or 9:00am - 3:00 pm for children who are 3, 4, 5, and 6 years old. Each week is inspired by a curricular theme that guides inquiry and each day provides children with the chance to experience creativity and friendship, explore new passions, learn, and grow. Campers are encouraged to play, explore, and discover almost exclusively outdoors.
