Black Bears
Black Bears Day Camp!
Camp is a great way to spend the summer! Our youngest campers have plenty of time for free, creative play in our beautiful classroom centers. Every morning, children have the choice to play with small group games, building blocks, math manipulatives, pencil and paper, or an art project. Campers gather together in a daily circle to share stories, practice quiet time, and play together. In addition, we offer swim time and outdoor play amongst the trees every day! For those little campers who want to learn a new skill, we offer a special class each session including music, ceramics, soccer, and coding through Minecraft. We also offer beginner swim lessons during camp! For more information, please call our office.
Regular camp hours are 9:00 am – 3:30 pm. Before Camp starts at 8:00 am and After Camp runs until 5:30 pm.
