Children  develop independence while learning the importance of sharing, listening, and cooperation. Weekly sessions are offered June – August. Children must be potty trained. The program is held both indoors and outdoors.

Children ages 3-5 can go to camp too! Weekly themes will keep little ones engaged while they craft, play games, and burn some energy indoors and out. Sign up with a friend or make new friends! Looking for 5 days a week? Register for Summer Preschool and keep the learning going! Children must be potty-trained.
