Under the Sea Adventure

Under the Sea Adventure dives deep into the underwater realm of mermaids, fish, and long-lost treasure.

Throughout this week-long aquatic adventure, campers will be introduced to dance routines that echo the graceful movements of sea creatures and the rhythmic flow of ocean currents.

Our sea explorers will also engage in creative crafts, designing their own shimmering mermaid or scaly fishtails, crafting accessories inspired by what lies 'under the sea', and guided pretend-play activities transforming these land dwellers to creatures of the deep!

This playful and creative camp ignites imaginations, enhances artistic skills and builds fine and gross motor skills. Every day promises a splash of fun, a wave of laughter, and a tide of unforgettable memories.

Wild Things Adventure

Let the Wild Rumpus Start!

This wild and energetic animal-lovers experience delights campers through learning dance routines inspired by the myriad of movements found in nature – from the swift dash of the cheetah to the slooooow crawl of a sloth, and the fluttering of butterflies to the bombastic stomp of elephants.

The rumpus continues with craft sessions, designing masks that channel their inner wild spirit, making instruments, and even a little improvisation.

Through fun and play, campers build on their gross and fine motor skills and gain confidence as they get comfortable performing with each other.

Each day promises a whirlwind of joy and a parade of unforgettable moments. Your Wild Things will have a roaring good time in this hands-on experience.
