We offer a healthy selection of hot lunches and snacks to keep your kids full of energy and stimulate their creativity. That means we don’t sell candy, pop or chips but fruit, veggies, granola bars and more. Ask us about our new and improved Fuel for fun menu and meal plans. Pay up front and never pack a lunch!

We offer pre-camp care from 7:30 to 8:45 a.m. and post-camp care from 4:15 to 5:30 p.m. We do not offer post-care for the 1/2 day camp.  All pre and post camp care is $3.00 per session per child.

Superfun preschool heroes
1/2 day camps: preschoolers - grade 1

If you know a preschooler who is always performing, this is the perfect camp for them. With the help of books, games, and crafts young campers will learn about the arts in many ways. Join us at the end of camp for a special presentation of a superhero show created by the campers (with the help of a super instructor). Our focus is building confidence, creativity and social skills.  Sign up soon as this program often sells out.

Preschool age 4 and up: 1/2-day camp, 9 a.m. to noon.
Fee: $120
