This is the program descriptions for each week of the summer:
All of the preschool camps have an educational, social and emotional development component to each week of programming. The following program descriptions are just guidelines for each week and may vary.
*Week 1) Little Picassos and Musicians – This week is filled with art and music experiences. A variety of art mediums will be introduced to the children as well as different songs and musical instruments. It will be a very creative week.
Week 2) Camping Fun – Children will experience the fun of camping. Tents, fishing and camp fire building (pretend camp fire craft) will be the focus. A nature walk will provide the children an opportunity to explore the outside world. There might even be some time to make s'mores as a group.
Week 3) Under the Sea – “Whales and Sharks and Fish, oh my.” This week it is all about the sea. Your child will sing about the ocean, make an aquarium and do many activities to learn about what is in the ocean.
Week 4) Jungle Safari – It is a jungle out there. It will be during this week at preschool camp. Children will go on a safari with songs, crafts and games. They will discover the different animals that are part of the jungle.
Week 5) Treasure Hunter – This week we will all be transformed into pirates. The high seas will be filled with pirate talk and some treasure hunting along the way. Games, crafts and lots of play will be part of the Treasure Hunter Week.
*Week 6) Science Exploration – Your child will be using their minds to create and explore with the world of science. Many fun science experiments will be discovered and tested during this week. If your child is very curious about science this would be the camp for them.
Week 7) Down on the Farm – What is part of a farm? Children will learn about life on the farm and what animals live on different farms. Your child might get a chance to make some pig mud along the way.
Week 8) Kids in the Kitchen – This week will be full of fun making healthy foods in the kitchen. Kitchen safety rules will be taught as well as child friendly recipes will be made. What child does not love to make a snack for their parents. All food and recipes will be provided. Bon Appetite!
