Climbers (4 & 5 Year Olds)
Our youngest campers are encouraged to explore the world around them through hands-on activities in the areas of outdoor adventure, creative expressions, and physical activity. Additionally, Climbers go on weekly adventures to area museums, parks, and events, as well as swim at least one time per week. Climber staff members are trained in early childhood development and seek to foster a sense of caring, safety, and personal growth in their campers.
What to Bring
Please help your camper understand that he or she is responsible for everything they bring to camp. Labeling all belongings will help us make sure everything makes it home safely. Most importantly, please only bring items that are important for camp…extra stuff is likely to get lost or ruined.
