Welcome! As a continuation of our Links to Learning® curriculum, camp enhancements offers a fun-filled summer program for children ages 1 to 4. Each week, preschoolers jump into action, participating in fun and exciting activities and special events.

Our preschoolers have the opportunity to expand their horizons during the summer, embarking on new adventures, and having fun!

Although we want the children to have the best summer possible, we can’t forget about all they’ve learned during the school year.

Our Links to Learning® summer curriculum is designed to review and strengthen skills taught during the school year. Various academic activities will be integrated throughout your child’s daily summer experience.

Our summer enhancements will inspire your child’s mind to engage, explore, create and stay active this summer!

The key to 10 weeks of summer fun!

Move It! Mix It! Mess it! Do it!

Messy science experiences are the best kind. Our children get their hands dirty to create homemade play dough, "oobleck," 3D sand art, and more.

Mysteries at the Museum

Our little detectives strengthen their problem solving skills through group projects and peer interactions that encourage positive relationships.

Storybook Summer

Dragons, fairies, superheroes, oh my! Children will go on a magical adventure as books come to life through song, dance, and dramatic play.

Treasure Hunters

Children set sail on a pirate-themed voyage. They build pirate ships, search for hidden treasure, and even test their balance and coordination skills by walking the plank.

Color Me Happy

Explore the wonderful world of color! From painting, to sculpting, to drawing and more, children mix colors and let their creativity run wild.

Fossil Find

Learn all about the mysterious lives of dinos and the scientists who study them. Children read stories about pre-historic life, dig for fossils, and use clues to uncover dinosaur eggs.

Mysterious Mixtures

Children practice a variety of kitchen skills while creating delicious concoctions. Along with habits of self-help and good nutrition, they learn important academic, social and physical skills.

Hiding in the Garden

Children investigate all aspects of Mother Nature including weather, bugs, and habitats. Their green thumbs will be put to the test as they create their own mini gardens and learn about the life cycle of plants.

What’s beyond the moon?

Get ready for an amazing exploration of space. Children embark on an imaginative journey to the moon and back, as they learn more about our solar system through dramatic play, art, stories, and more.

On the Boardwalk

We're bringing the beach to you this summer. Children dive into seaside adventures while exploring ocean creatures, building sand castles, and playing beach games.

Building without Blocks

Children think outside the box to create structures using recycled materials including cups, sticks, cardboard boxes, and milk jugs. The possibilities are endless.

Knight Vision

Hear ye! Hear ye! Children travel back to Medieval times to unravel mysteries, explore knights in shining armor, and read about castles in far away lands.
