    Lunch Bunch

    A supervised lunch and recess is offered on a weekly basis and can be purchased as an add-on to any morning or afternoon camp for grades 1-8. Campers MUST BRING a bagged lunch from home. Lunch Bunch is included for Summer Explorer full-day camps. Lunch Bunch will cost $25 per week for those only attending one session (AM or PM) or attending 2 single-session camps.

    ACE (After Camp Experience)

    Our After Camp Experience option for rising PK3-K and 1st - 8th-grade students will be available to all of our afternoon and full-day campers. After Camp Experience participants engage in a variety of fun activities such as arts and crafts, supervised playground time, games, and more until 6 p.m. The weekly fee for the After Camp Experience is $40.
  • Extended Care/Drop In Policy

    Early Bird Drop Off, Lunch Bunch, and After Camp Care are offered as additional options for one-week camp sessions and cannot accommodate single or drop-in days. It is best to register for Early Bird Drop Off or After Care when registering for camp as spaces often fill up.
