Experience 101 gooey, slippery, slimy, weird, awesome, magical, bizarre, incredible, oozing, bubbling, dripping, bouncing, fun experiments and discover the answers to your tough science questions! Blaze a trail, bring your pail, wear an old shirt and learn in the dirt! We will, of course, play responsibly by cleaning up after ourselves. Campers should bring older clothes, an extra change of clothing and a slop smock each day of camp.
BIG SUMMER FUN - Get ready for SUPERSIZED fun because AFTER SCHOOL Day Camp just got bigger and better! We have acquired an amazing new piece of technology called the Incredible Enlarging Machine. We can use it to JUMBO SIZE all of your favorite summer camp activities. This week has huge potential including, life-sized board games, extra-large lawn games, giant puppet creation, full-sized fort building, large-scale artwork, supersized sports, colossal cooking projects and more! Our youngest campers will enjoy exploring what they want to do and be when they get BIGGER! Older kids can challenge themselves by setting and breaking one of our camp records! This week at AFTER SCHOOL Day Camp is your ticket to a large group of friends, huge life lessons and big fun!
CAMP FINALE! - Join your friends at camp for a colossal culmination of summer fun and festivities. The week will be packed with fun field trips and your favorite camp activities.

Don’t miss out on the fun!
