Pee Wee Camp

(Campers entering Kindergarten and 1st Grade)
Teddy & Gummy Groups — Staff-to-Camper Ratio: 1:6
Pee Wee campers are our most active and enthusiastic campers. We recognize that they need an array of experiences to allow them to grow physically, emotionally and mentally. Our Pee Wee staff creates a fun and safe social environment for our newest campers. Whether in sports, swimming, or creative arts, we use “learning through play” as a way to further motor-skill development, promote independence, and build confidence.

Junior Camp

(Campers entering 2nd and 3rd Grades)
Panda & Koala Groups — Staff-to-Camper Ratio: 1:7
Our Junior campers are at that exciting stage where their self-awareness and motor skills reach new levels. And as their hand-eye coordination, agility, flexibility, and balance improve, they’re ready to be introduced to team and group play skills. Throughout the summer, our Pandas and Koalas build on their basic sports, swimming and creative arts skills while focusing on the fundamentals of cooperative play.

Pee Wee and Junior Camps Swim Instruction

Staff-to-Swimmer Ratios: Pee Wee Camp: 1:5; Junior Camp: 1:6
Our swim instruction for Pee Wee and Junior campers will help new swimmers get comfortable in the water and established swimmers improve technique. The youngest campers will be introduced to swimming fundamentals, while they also work on the arm movements that are the foundations of swimming. Older campers work to refine basic skills and progress to more advanced levels while staying comfortable in the water.

Pee Wee and Junior Camps Sports Instruction

With Pee Wee campers, we use a “learning through play” method in sports instruction to enhance motor-skill development while adding a sport-specific component. On any given day, you might see our Teddies and Gummies learning basketball skills like passing and dribbling as they’re simultaneously working on basic motor skills like running and catching.

For Junior campers, we begin their summer by presenting the rules and principles of various sports and activities, and later in the summer, challenge our campers to master their skills through repetitive practice and drills. These campers are also introduced to team play in “game conditions.”

Specialty Activities & Camp Favorites

Pee Wee and Junior campers experience a wide variety of age-appropriate specialty activities, including martial arts, yoga, dance, and arts & crafts. We also have special events throughout camp like Simon Sez, the Squeaky Clean concert, and our famous end of camp Carnival to keep things fun and exciting.
