SUMMER 2026

We're looking forward to a sunshine-filled summer with our super-creative, enthusiastic, curious, maker/builder campers. Summer 2026 programs will be posted here on January 12th. We are planning to stagger the release of available spots for January, February, and March.

GENERAL PROGRAM INFO

Off to the NatureLab for science, art, and exploration! We start at 9am and pick-up is 4pm. Please send your child(ren) with a lunch, sunscreen, and water bottle. We will provide a morning and afternoon snack. 

The weekly cost is $495 and the June 29th week is prorated to $396 because of the 4th of July holiday observed on Friday 7/3 for which we will be closed. We offer a sibling discount for two or more children enrolled at the same time. For the sibling/besties/cousin discount of 10%, please use the !SIBLINGS! discount code at checkout.
