Jr. Backpackers
Rising Kindergarten /Campers who are born in 2019/
This summer features our NEW expertly designed Explorer Pads! These new camp exploration rooms are built with the necessary tools and resources that will inspire your child to drill into their talents, learn new skills, and gain confidence in several interest areas over the course of the summer! From making their own movie, to building and creating their own invention with a 3-D printer, to learning new dance moves from around the world, this camp season will be impactful, memorable, and inspiring!
On top of our daily explorations, we will splash, squirt, and beat the heat with on site water play for weekly Wednesday Waterworks and head out into the NYC metro area for our Friday Extreme Adventures.
Monday through Thursday of each camp week, our campers spend time rotating between our Explorer Pad discovery rooms and work with their counselors and fellow campers to learn how to use the tools and resources available in each pad, complete special projects, and share their work with the camp community! On Wednesdays we make space in our day to enjoy water-inspired play, so be sure to pack all the water day essentials with your camper! Each Thursday we make space in our day to enjoy water-inspired play, so be sure to pack all the water day essentials with your camper! And finally, on Friday we will hit the road for an exciting adventure day! From Medieval Times to an Alley Pond ropes course adventure, our action-packed Fridays are sure to be both fun and memorable.
