Kindergarten Kamp provides students 3 hours of guided outdoor play and exploration. We meet once a week during the school year, extending the school day to include screen-free creative play, nature-based discovery, relationship skills and community-building.
Join us in Bradford Woods or in North Park. Our certified staff facilitate songs, hikes, crafts, and games, while allowing for student-led inquiry and encounters with our environment. Morning Kindergarten students flourish outdoors after a morning in the classroom. And afternoon Kindergarten students are grounded after spending a morning in the fresh air interacting with the natural world. Pack a lunch for your youngster and give yourself the gift of time while giving them the gift of growth!
Wednesdays September 3 - October 22 at North Park near the Boat House.

Fridays September 5 - October 24 at Bradford Woods Community Church

While we love spending time with your kiddos, we do not offer after-camp care! We are also parents to school age children, and want to be home with them soon after they’re off the bus. For that reason, there is a late pick-up fee of $1 per minute per child.

No, transportation is not provided by camp. It was — and remains — a key goal in Lisa’s vision for the program, but the pieces aren’t in place yet. Please keep your eyes open for transportation updates in the future!
