New This Year: Stay and Play

Want to make the most of your camp week? Our Stay and Play option is the perfect, hassle-free way for your camper to stay and play for the rest of the day after their scheduled Exploration Camp program concludes. It’s a seamless way to accommodate busy families while ensuring the adventure continues!

Upon the conclusion of your child’s vendor-led program, their afternoon will be action-packed and structured:

• Fuel Up: Campers enjoy a supervised lunch period together.
• Splash Time: A refreshing free swim period to cool off and play.
• Field Day Fun: A high-energy period of counselor-led field games (think capture the flag and kickball!).
• Creative or Active Play: A dedicated period with one of our specialized program providers, rotating between favorites like Arts and Crafts or Gymnastics.

Dismissal is easy: Campers are dismissed at our rolling dismissal starting at 3:45 PM, or simply take their bus home as usual, providing a convenient, stress-free option for your family.
