Weekly themes keep the learning fresh and exciting. One day they might be exploring the wonders of the one-of-a-kind hands-on museum, another they'll be lost in the magic of the award-winning Story Garden, and others they'll be trekking through the woods of Ross Park. In between, structured games, captivating stories, and an enriching art curriculum round out the experience. Of course, there's also plenty of time for free play, allowing campers to make new friends and develop valuable social skills.
