PRESCHOOL CAMPS

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.

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.
