How is the day structured? We begin each day indoors with an art lesson and crafting session along our weekly theme. We have snack, then head outside for classic camp games and activities, structured sports including basketball, soccer, pickleball, kickball and more! We will stay cool with water balloon games and lots of shady spots under the trees. We have lunch, then head to the nearby playground to enjoy organized games and sports until pick-up at 3 pm.
