1st-8th Grade Enrichment & Recreation Programs
Enrichment Program | 9:00am - 12:00pm
We offer an eclectic mix of over 70 enrichment class options for children entering 1st through 8th grade. Classes are a healthy mix of challenge and fun spanning topics in math, science, visual and performing arts, computer programming, soft skills development, athletics, and more! Our hope is that campers explore something they’ve never tried before or develop their interest and skills in a specific area of focus. Most classes are project-based and include opportunities for individual and group work.
Classes are separated by grade level to facilitate healthy peer-to-peer relationships and friendships, and to allow teachers to appropriately tailor instruction. Most classes have a maximum size of 12-16 children and are led by one teacher. Our small class sizes allow teachers to adapt the content and pace to the composition of the group and provide individual support when needed. Meet our Enrichment Teachers »

Recreation Program | 12:00pm - 3:00pm
Join in on some good ‘ole fashion camp fun with a twist! Our Recreation (“Rec”) Program, for children entering 1st-8th grade, offers fun ways to build physical fitness, develop motor skills, increase confidence and leadership skills, and build lasting friendships. Every day in Rec looks a bit different, but some of the activities campers love the most are visits to the nearby Mystic Waters waterpark, creative variations of camp favorites like dodgeball, capture the flag, and relay races, and special programs offered by community groups (previous programs include game shows, magicians, dance performances, comedians, and wildlife shows). Campers have access to an on-site gymnasium, field, and playground area, as well as a nearby Rand Park.
Based on the activity, campers may participate in small, same-age groups or in larger, mixed-age groups. A team of dedicated counselors facilitate all Recreation programming. We maintain a 1:10 staff to child ratio. Meet our Camp Counselors (coming soon) »
The Recreation Program is offered as an ad-on option only. Campers must be enrolled in enrichment classes in order to participate. Enrollment is per two-week session. There are no partial sessions.
