Adventure Day Camp

Booked to capacity for summer 2024

Thank you for considering this program. All positions and scholarship funds have been filled.
Registration for summer 2025 opening Feb. 1, 2025

Spend the day outdoors learning and exploring on the shores of Payette Lake. Throughout the summer kiddos explore the outdoors, play games, make crafts, hike, swim, and make new friendships. Students will use their five senses and tools to learn more about the world around them. Topics will complement the nature play and summertime adventures that kiddos love while practicing social and emotional skills.

This summer there will be an overarching theme of Making Connections. Each week will have different activities and topics to explore related to making connections to provide variety and maintain continuity throughout the program. Every day we will try to incorporate; a game, song, art activity, book, adventure in the park, free play, science activity, and swimming* when it’s warm enough, usually around the first week in July. Some example theme weeks are teamwork, plant and animal relationships and where our water comes and goes. There will be an emphasis on social and emotional learning so that kiddos can work on their interpersonal relationship skills with each other and this place.

Student groups are generally split by age. The age groupings that we try for are:

• 3-5 years
• 6-7 years
• 8-9 years

Dates:

June 12 - Aug. 9, 2024.
