Each day is full of activities, crafts, games, plus lunch and snacks to fuel the fun. Sign up for one day or bundle and save! Learn more and register today.

Our Mini Camps Are Full of Fun
Mini Camps are full of fun games, creative crafts, and engaging activities! Our office is packed with toys (giant Connect 4 is a crowd favorite) and there is a park nearby for field trips to get the wiggles out (weather permitting). Kids will have a blast with each other and get to connect with adopted peers.
And we’ve got the food covered! We will have a pizza party for lunch, along with snacks and drinks throughout the day. You are also welcome to pack food for your child—we have a fridge and microwave available!
