Hop-a-long Cassiday and the Gang

Endless hours spent outdoors with friends

An emphasis on the importance of outdoor play ensures a higher level of activity and is useful in increasing fitness levels.

Healthy pastimes provide experiences that lead to a more active future.
More active play reduces the impact of time spent watching TV at home or playing computer games.
Garden and outdoor games are fun.

What goes up… must come down

Slip Slidin' Away

Nothing says summer like flying down a water slide.

Children love the refreshing thrill of water and speed on hot summer days!
The outdoor space is equipped with many unique, fun and very safe ways to get wet.
Sprinklers, slides, hoses, buckets, water toys and plenty of sun tan lotion are in use daily.

Well that's a curious sight!

Oh, the places we'll go!

Young children learn from their experiences. They use their senses to gather information about the world around them. That's why field trips play an important role in the summer curriculum.

Smelling the air or listening to the sounds around them, a fieldtrip does not have to be elaborate to be effective.
Exciting weekly summer field trips for the older children (4yrs. and up).
Fun, entertaining discovery walks for the younger children.

Bubble, bubble, toil, but no trouble!

Cool Bubbles On A Warm Summer Day

Preschool children, toddlers, infants, you name it, all children love bubbles. Blowing them, running around to catch them, and exploring what goes into making them.

One popular summer science experiment is making the simple bubble solution.
Re-using old bubble containers, blowing through old cd's, loopng pipe cleaners, making colorful bubbles – this activity that never gets old.

Wilderness warriors – with all the amenities

It Wouldn't Be “Camp” Without A Tent

Introducing camping outdoors makes an unforgettable summer experience for kids of all ages.

Children pitch the tent together.
The shade and screened roof provide a welcome oasis of warm breezes and leafy shadows.
Children spend time sitting together talking, reading and inventing stories.

Kermit's got it easy compared to this guy!

Kids Get To Know Nature – First Hand

“Will it bite me? Is it poisonous? Is it a baby? Where is its mother?” – as children experience nature an avalanche of questions come tumbling out.

Summer provides many opportunities to learn in a natural environment.
The outdoor spaces are full of plants, trees, flowers, water, dirt, sand and insects.
Just add discovery and the power of their imagination.

Abracadabra. Hocus pocus. Alakazam!

A Magician Is Just One of Our Special Guests

The focus of our summer specials is interactivity and entertainment so there's plenty for the children to do and participate in.

Visitors specialize in making great connections with the children.
Using humor, antics, and getting them laughing is the goal.
Coins appear out of thin air and children come up and “assist”.

Project Runway? I thought you said project run-away!

The Best Masterpieces Are the Ones You Can Wear

T-shirts full of real hand prints and their co-camper's names is just one of the mementos that remind children of their fun summer.

Mixing colors, making a mess and making art is easy outdoors.
Kids create lots of things using materials we adults toss!
Getting creative each day makes them feel special and good about themselves.
