Early Childhood Camp
Age 3
This program is designed to continue many of the experiences the children in Early Childhood have during the academic year. The activities are specific to their developmental level and the focus is on having fun. The goal is to allow children to make discoveries, experience enriching activities and have social interactions with the other campers by working individually and in small groups. The program is staffed by Abington Friends Early Childhood teachers and by assistants (in college or recent graduates) who have experience working with young children. Parents must provide a lunch.
EC Campers must be 3 years of age by September 1, 2023.
Junior Camp
Ages 4 – 5
In our Junior Camp, children are grouped by age in self-contained settings for an enriching sampler of scheduled activities that include art, music, games, free play, storytelling, creative movement, and drama. Junior camp is designed to promote socialization, independence, creativity and problem solving in the very young child while an emphasis is placed on having fun; after all children learn best when they enjoy what they are doing. All of our junior campers receive daily instructional swim lessons with one of our Red Cross certified Water Safety Instructors. In Junior Camp, our teachers follow weekly themes that culminate in exciting Friday activities. Designed to capture the interest of youngsters, past themes have been: Trains, Planes & Automobiles, Tea Time, In The Good Old Summer Time, Space Adventure, Surf’s Up, My Teddy Bear, Monster Madness and Little Chefs.
