Details to these camps include:
Career Camps for children 9-12 yrs.
If your child has aspirations towards a specific life skill, these camps will be of interest to them. The primary goal of these camps is to educate in specific career areas. Your child has the opportunity to be introduced to areas like chemistry, science, culinary, mechanics or fashion, to name a few. Each morning is geared towards a specific career of study and working with trained professionals within the field. Midday is an explosive setting of wet and dirty games specific to this age group, after which, each afternoon the children will enjoy trips via bus throughout the city.
Initiation Camps for children 5-8 yrs.
You should be seeing certain interests spark in your child at this stage and the maintenance of their expressive, creative self is very important. These campers will be offered skills specific to their interests and will help harness their desire to learn about it, while still having a lot of fun. Each of these camps are full of creative content, but also maintain an educational premise. Please have your child dressed in play clothes each day and bathing suits are required daily. Their schedule includes; specific skill sets taught in the morning, midday is now full of extreme, wet and dirty games, each afternoon these children will enjoy trips throughout the city. Your child should be tired and happy at the end of each day.
Kids Having Fun for children 2.5-4 yrs. Memorable
experiences are very important. Your child will have a remarkable
experience when registered into these camps! If you could prepare
a moment that would be a lifelong memory for your child, what would
it be? A quaint teddy bear picnic dressed in funny hats with their
friends and favorite stuffed toy, pretending to drive a real ambulance
or police car, listening through a stethoscope to a heart rate of
the furriest bunny, finding an enormous dinosaur bone at a real
excavation sight? These events will all take place this summer at
Maple Hill. Your child will explore each morning specific to each
theme, with a consistent / highly qualified instructor and midday
they will enjoy wet games, dirty games, but most of all …fun. Each
afternoon these children will enjoy trips throughout the city and
enjoy a daily schedule that best suits their stamina and capabilities.
Maple Hill's camp instructors will remain consistent throughout
the summer to allow for rapport building with our families and their
children. Daily summaries and weekly schedules will be provided
to each of these camp registrants.
