Too old for naps? Not ready for ice skating? We’ve got a camp that’s just right! Tailored especially for campers in kindergarten and first grade, mornings will be spent in age appropriate activities for Art, Physical Education, and the weekly special (music, cooking, science, etc.), while afternoons and field trips will address our kindergarten and first grade sensibilities.

Each week, the Eager Explorers will leave campus for swimming at Arden Swim Club (3 days each week). On campus afternoon activities will include active games, arts and crafts, water play, natural playground and story time. The Eager Explorers will also participate in all “Fun Friday” special events including Decades Day, Inflatables, and Dance Parties.

Our caring team positively impacts children’s lives on and off the field through best-in-class coaching, communication and curriculum. Our coaches are the best-trained in the business. Our expert-approved curriculum is age-appropriate and aligns with childhood education standards. Please Note: This camp is offered in the morning. Campers enrolled in this program will not participate in the morning rotation of activities. After lunch, campers will participate in all afternoon Eager Explorer Camp activities.

Clothing and Toys: Children should wear cool, comfortable, weather appropriate clothes to camp, and be prepared for both outdoor and indoor activities. All campers must wear sneakers and socks. Please do not send your child to camp in sandals. Campers will not need to bring toys to camp. While it is appropriate for our Mighty Munchkin campers to bring a favorite blanket or stuffed animal to help them relax during quiet time, all other toys and electronic devices are prohibited from being brought to camp.
