This listing is for half-day summer camp. We have half-day, full-day, monthly, and extended hour options.

Mornings:
Each morning kiddos will have a choice between participating in our theme activity, heading off to a playground, or simply playing with our Lego, magnatile, board games, marble runs, or messing around in our adventure area.
Those of you who’ve joined us in the past may recall that we used to have separate tracks, but our new larger space will allow us more flexibility. The tracks exist, but the decisions can be made each morning, not at the time of registration.
Afternoons
Each week kiddos will have opportunities to go on at least two field trips as small groups. We have in mind things like heading to the splash pad in WR, disc golf on North Mesa, the Leisure Lagoon, visiting local museums and the library, and more. We’ll also aim to take groups off to the playground at least once a day. This year any costs for field trips (such as entry into the aquatic center) are included in the camp cost.
Weekly Themes
June 2nd – 6th: No Theme
This week is all about having fun and decompressing from the school year. We find that kiddos really just want to play this week, so that’s the plan.
June 9th – 13th: Micro:bits
Micro:bits are small programmable processors that contain an LED array, piezo speaker, accelerometer, etc. They can be programmed with block coding or python using tablets or computers. There is an additional material fee for this week if you would like your child to be able to keep their micro:bit.
June 16th – 20th: Spy Week
Learn to pick locks, crack cyphers, dust for fingerprints, create a periscope, and navigate a laser [yarn] maze! This week will be all about sneaking around. On our last day the kids will put all of their skills to the test and work in teams to steal priceless gems from our breakout box!
June 23rd – June 27th: Robots
Each day will see kids provided with a new challenge to program and modify a robot to perform. We’ve added to our robot collection over the past year and have even more robots, including some that are great for emerging readers.
June 30th – July 3rd: Adventure Week
This week is all about physical play. We’ll set up obstacle courses, play with the knocker balls, create challenges for our bouldering wall, capture the flag, and generally have fun pushing our limits.
July 7th – 11th: Braille, Abacus, and ASL
Come learn about different ways of reading, talking, and mathing! Kiddos will learn to decode and encode braille with a slate and stylus and use a braille typewriter. They’ll learn how vision impaired kiddos [and everyone else] can use an abacus to do math and how to use a cane to navigate the world. We’ll also watch some amazing ASL storytelling on the TV, learn the ASL alphabet, and some more basic signs.
July 14th – 18th: Theater Camp
We’ll do [recycled] costume, makeup, script writing, [recycled] set design, improv, everything theater! If the kids are inspired, we may have a very short play at the end of the week. If they’re not, we’ll have lots of fun doing all of the pieces without the pressure of a finished product.
July 21st – 25th: Recycled Crafts
We’ll pull out all of the recycling, glue guns, and tape and make some fun and robust crafts, cosplay, forts, friend, or whatever strikes your fancy. This week will be messy!
July 28th – Aug 1st: TBD
We know we’ll have camp, but we don’t know how it will work with staffing yet.
Aug 4th – 8th: TBD
We know we’ll have camp, but we don’t know how it will work with staffing yet.
