I thought there was a 10 day session, what happened?

After feedback from you all, we have altered the sessions to be more flexible. We know summers can be busy with family vacations and other activities. There are now weekly cohorts, however, your camper can absolutely sign up for multiple weeks. We would love to have them!

Don't worry, we have a sister company that offers childcare services. Just ask for more information and we'd be happy to refer you.

What should I do if I don't get off work until 5:00 pm and camp is over at 2:00 pm?

We've got you covered. Ask about our extended stay package and we'd be happy to send you over more information.
