TOTS CAMP
Tots Camp is a program focused on recreation, education and fun for children who have not yet entered kindergarten. Though it closely resembles a
nursery school program, the environment is designed to be camp-like rather than school-like. Camp staff create this environment through scheduling
opportunities for active play, participation in creative arts, special programs/events and openly structured outdoor activities. The staff are also dedicated to maintaining a caring, protective and well-supervised program.
A typical camp day will consist of an arts and craft project, outdoor playtime (weather permitting), sports, quiet time, music and story time. In addition
to the regularly scheduled programs, campers will also participate in special events and attend performances by entertainers. To keep cool, all camp
groups participate in our water play activities on a regular basis.
