Program for Three Year Old and Four Year Old Campers

Three Year Olds

The work of a three year old is play. The program for our youngest campers involves numerous free-play activities including dramatic play, block building, painting, working with clay, playing games, and reading stories. The children also have opportunities to participate in gymnastics, art, nature, and music. For this program, the campers must be three years old by November 1st and toilet trained. Each camper is part of a group of eight boys and girls with a counselor and counselor-in-training.

Four Year Olds

A variety of activities including gymnastics, art, music, creative drama, and nature are planned for our four-year-old campers in a schedule that also allows time for free play. Exploration, enrichment, readiness, and discovery are among the goals of this program. The campers must be four years old by November 1st or going into kindergarten in the fall of 2010. Three and Four Year Olds Afternoon Options Both of these programs offer a choice of pick-up after lunch at 12:45 P.M. or a quiet afternoon with nap time and free play. Although formal swimming lessons are not offered at the pools, water play activities are provided. The leaders are professional teachers trained in early childhood education.
