Our childcare camps offer a fun, engaging, and nurturing environment where children can learn, play, and grow all summer long. Each day is thoughtfully designed with a balance of creative activities, active play, and age-appropriate learning experiences that encourage curiosity, confidence, and friendship. Led by caring, experienced staff, campers enjoy hands-on projects, group games, outdoor adventures, and special activities in a safe, supportive setting, giving families peace of mind and children a summer full of joyful memories.
This summer, children will experience a season full of joy and exploration in a safe, supportive environment led by our experienced, nurturing teachers. Each week, our Adventurers dive into a new theme that inspires creativity, curiosity, and learning through hands-on activities, special on-site events, and exciting field trips. Activities will include arts and crafts, outdoor play, dance, sports, gardening, STEAM projects, and daily water fun, plus multiple swim sessions each week at the Springfield Community Pool. With this perfect blend of learning, creativity, and play, our program helps children build new skills, make lasting friendships, and create wonderful summer memories.
