1 Year of School
This age bracket is designed for children with at least one year of school under their belts. The activities for this group are designed to challenge and stimulate these young learners, taking into account emergent literacy and improving motor coordination. Activities will focus on basic learning, science and nature experiences, artistic creativity, movement, and fun!
First Grade
This newly created group is kept exclusively for our 7-year-old campers. Recognizing that children at this age are looking for more higher-level activities and independence, the activities for this group are designed to challenge and motivate children intellectually, physically and socially. The leader of this group will show campers the perfect balance of freedom with responsibility.
Second Grade – Third Grade
This age bracket can expect more challenge and higher-level activities. The curriculum incorporates science and nature experiments with problem solving into the weekly themes to encourage cognitive development. Many games and activities are planned to challenge the day campers’ minds and bodies, giving them opportunity for new experiences and abilities. The staff selected for this age group is ready to offer a wide variety of personal skills, from puppetry to water sports!
Fourth Grade – Fifth Grade
This group is made up of the older and wiser campers on site, with higher-level challenges and activities. The curriculum incorporates more difficult and lengthy experiments and problem-solving into the weekly topics for added cognitive stimulation. Many games and activities are planned to stimulate the campers’ minds and bodies, giving them the opportunity for new experiences and abilities. The staff for this age group is ready to offer them a wide variety of personal skills and to appropriately handle maturing social behavior.
12 – 14 Year Olds
The goal for this age group is to venture beyond the traditional day camp and create outdoor fun and adventure where campers can discover and appreciate each other and themselves. They will be given more responsibility on choice making, skill building, and teamwork. The highlight of this program is additional off-site day trips and overnights, exploring the state of Wisconsin.
