KinderCamp Extended Care
KinderCamp Extended Care is available for 4-5 year olds Mon-Fri, 1:00pm-4:00pm and includes daily enrichments! (3-year-old children needing extended care should sign up for our Preschool Summer Program.)
Extended Care Enrichments:
Run, jump, skip, and play during this active, fun-filled sports-oriented enrichment. From old favorites to new challenges, this enrichment covers it all!!!! Please be sure to send your child to camp in sneakers.
Make some space on your walls and shelves! During this creative enrichment, we explore different art techniques and styles, and use a wide array of art mediums. Water colors, clay creations, Fimo, are just some of the fun we have planned!
Move, groove, jump, and jive with our amazing dance instructor. Each week campers learn contemporary dance steps, hip hop, as well as incorporating stretching, yoga, and a cool down. So You Think You Can Dance has nothing on us!
Together we explore the imaginative world of stories and fairy tales and create corresponding illustrations, culminating in writing and illustrating our own KinderCamp story.
Let’s explore the world of architecture! Using a variety of materials (wood, clay, Legos, recycled, and upcycled materials – to name a few. Campers learn and create in individual and group projects! The possibilities and creativity are endless!
