Our K/1 Program is for campers entering Kindergarten and 1st grade in the Fall of 2026. K/1 offers our youngest campers a sampling of the programming in our Traditional Program within a schedule that is developmentally appropriate for their age group. Monday through Thursday mornings, K/1 campers will rotate around to a variety of morning lessons designed for their age group such as canoeing, archery, arts & crafts, explore, science, and sports. K/1 campers will also be given an opportunity to ride a horse during their session. We have a mid-morning snack (brought from home) scheduled for these campers to keep them going strong until lunch.  In the afternoon, they join the rest of the camp in afternoon choice activities. On Friday mornings, campers enjoy fun games and activities associated with a specified theme (such as Super Hero Day, Decade Day, or Olympic Day).
